Calculate.
Cross-check. Go.

Planning and confirmation tools designed for a phone in the RIB. They do not replace the Race Officer’s instruction, official tables or safe judgement.

GPS / 01

Target position

Destination (decimal degrees)50.602312, -1.179326

Uses a great-circle destination calculation on a spherical earth model. Confirm datum and coordinate format before entry.

LINE / 02

Start-line planning

Initial planning length480 m / 0.26 NM

A starting estimate only. Adjust for class behaviour, current, wind strength, sea state, fleet ability and event policy.

GATE / 03

Gate-width sense check

Initial gate width40 m

There is no universal formula. Use class/event guidance and observe congestion; symmetry and correct alignment matter as much as nominal width.

ANGLE / 04

Reach bearings

Starboard-side reach150°Port-side reach010°

Use the published course geometry and reference tables. This is a bearing cross-check, not a full trapezoid position solution.
