Ever get stuck without the Club Start Box?? Here’s another way (click above) to get a collection of start sequences to your phone… from Sailboat RC. Each lasts 2’30” and has a music track for the first 90 seconds then a one minute countdown. “House of the Rising Sun” by The Animals would be my favourite in here 🙂

If you have weak phone signal at the water’s edge or would prefer to drop the disco sound track, have you seen our earlier news item on this phone app designed for yacht racing start sequences??
