Description
Regatta Racer is the lightweight sailing race timer built for competitive dinghy and keelboat racers who need precision timing and navigation tools without the bulk. Race with your phone in your pocket and your watch on your wrist—synchronized in real time, race after race. Why Regatta Racer?
Most sailing apps are built for cruising. This one's built for racing. Whether you're chasing the start line in a 49er, dialing in your Laser, or flying a keelboat, every second counts. Regatta Racer gives you the tools to execute perfect starts and nail your race strategy.
Core Features ▸ Countdown Timer – Start with presets (1-10 minutes), custom timing, or pursuit race start selection. Audio and vibration alerts keep you locked on the race, not the screen. ▸ Real-Time GPS & Compass – Speed, heading, location accuracy, and bearing updates for continuous navigation ▸ Start Line Optimization (Premium) – Time-to-Line (TTL) and Distance-to-Line (DTL) calculations to dial in your approach and hit the line at the horn with zero margin for error ▸ Speed Display in your choice of units (knots, km/h, mph, m/s, ft/s) – large, readable in any light condition ▸ Compass with heading indicator and compass rose for visual navigation feedback ▸ Screen Lock – Prevents accidental touches when the boat's bouncing and your hands are full ▸ Phone + Watch Sync – Control your timer from either device; data stays synchronized without cloud dependency
Watch App: The Advantage Your wrist is always faster than your pocket. Start your countdown from the watch, check speed and heading without reaching, keep one hand on the tiller. The watch app runs independently or synced with your phone—you decide. Perfect for small boat sailing where every distraction costs boat lengths.
Customization That Matters ▸ Speed and distance units to match your local racing standards ▸ Display themes: High Contrast (aqua on black—the racing default), Light
Mode, Night Mode, or System ▸ Audio and vibration alerts (toggle both on or off) ▸ Countdown alert lengths: choose 5, 10, or 15-second warnings ▸ Custom timing for any race format
The Pricing Model Free Preview: Full access to all features for your first 5 races. No strings. Try the app on the water and see if it fits your racing style.
Premium Subscription: Unlimited races, continuous access to start line optimization, advanced metrics, and all new features. Monthly or annual—cancel anytime.
Free Testing: Use 1-minute countdowns for unlimited dry-land practice. Learn the interface before your first regatta.
Who Uses Regatta Racer Competitive sailors at all levels—from club racers pushing for podiums to national competitors optimizing every advantage. Dinghy sailors love it for its lightweight approach and watch integration. Keelboat racers rely on it for precision start-line execution and synchronized timing.
Built by Sailors, For Sailors This app was born from the frustrations of existing tools: too slow, too clunky, too cloud-dependent, and not designed for the chaos of a racing environment. Regatta Racer strips away the noise and delivers exactly what you need on the racecourse.

Comments on Regatta Racer - Sailing Timer for Android
★★★★☆John Schellenbach· Sep 18, 2024
The only start app I have found that handles pursuit race starts. Although I wish the type of race / start time could be defined in the settings so that there is no need to scroll through all the different pre-defined times when the app is opened. I also have trouble returing to the timer if I need to close the app for some reason.
★★★★☆Mike Chartre· May 22, 2024
Great potential, needs one tweak. My only complaint about this app is if you have to re-sync the start of sequence, the initial sequence keeps running. I couldn't find a way to stop it. If you re-sync again, another is running. The previous timers should stop when a new one is started.
