Sailing races boast a rich tradition, and this legacy has underscored the need for a yacht timer, particularly during the start sequences. A yacht begins moving well before reaching the starting line. The essential aspect of a successful start is to cross the starting line promptly upon hearing the starting signal (but not before) and while maintaining maximum speed on a favourable course.
