Starting Sequence: an audible sailboat-race timer
A browser tool that calls out sailing start sequences through your earbuds, with horn sounds, voice controls, sync buttons, and a committee-boat PRO mode.
Field notes
The tool separates sailor and race-committee workflows rather than treating every start as one generic countdown. Its VHF mode avoids horns and beeps so an over-the-air tone cannot be mistaken for a real signal, while PRO mode gives flag names, horn lengths, and recall prompts. The page also documents operational constraints: the phone must stay in front with its screen awake, and the silent switch must be off on iPhone.
