Timing Clock – Dinghy Pursuit Races

   We are looking into moving our pursuit race from the middle of the day to first race of the day, so everyone comes off the water for lunch together. This sounds a little like what The Moo is describing. Not sure I want more than one a Sunday, though - crowded start lines are a proper skill, though the Mirror struggles more than my slightly faster boats. Yet to do a pursuit in the Mirror, might be stressful!

	When ‘The Moo ‘ talks about ‘ apres sail ‘ he means the odd glass of wine or beer/lager and loads and loads of piss taking .

	I was talking to the member that created our race timer (see posts above) very recently and mentioned the discussion on this forum. Whilst he has no desire to develop or support it commercially, he tells me that he is more than happy to release the coding to anyone who is interested to have a go themselves. If anyone is interested, please send me a PM with your contact details and I will ask him to get in touch with you.

	If anyone is interested in this please follow it though . Our m/c works perfectly for pursuits and handicap racing and clubs could do a lot worst than copy this coding .
