[Explore Synchronized start timer and broadcast start line ](https://sailalign.com/regatta-management-start-timer/) ### Official sailing race signals and Notice Board Authorized RC members raise and lower race status, preparatory and course flags.

No dedicated tracking hardware required. Linked teams open the selected race and grant location access. The RC can use Manual, Auto-start or Stopped by RC modes; live position sharing needs an internet connection. [Explore Smartphone live fleet tracking ](https://sailalign.com/regatta-management-start-timer/#phone-fleet-title) ### Automatic OCS, gate and finish timing for RC review Detect possible OCS and course-aware crossings using fleet GPS data. Inspect team, boat, timestamp, position accuracy, speed and confidence evidence. Approve or dismiss records, use bulk review where available, and reprocess a race when late tracking data arrives. Manual checkpoint and finish recording remain available.
