Applications
Sail Racing
You can use the quatix to increase the likelihood that your boat
will cross the start line of a race exactly when the race begins.
When you synchronize the race timer with the official race
countdown timer, the quatix alerts you at one-minute intervals
as the race start approaches. When you combine the race timer
with the virtual start line, the quatix measures your speed,
bearing, and remaining time on the countdown timer. The quatix
uses this data to indicate whether your boat will cross the start
line before, after, or at the correct time to start the race.
