Race starter
« on: August 11, 2024, 01:05:15 pm »

Can anyone point me in the direction of a battery powered countdown race starter.   Audible only please.  I've had a look around the internet and there doesn't seem to be that much about.Thanks

Try using the search words AUDIBLE COUNTDOWN TIMER. 

From a cursory search using those words, I found the following (USA):

Alternatively, you could use this YT link on your mobile to accomplish a similar task:

Or this:

Neither appear to match your exact needs, but come close IMHO.

Hope this helps.  Cheers!

If you would like to contact the Model Boat Association Dover, they have bought a Countdown Timer to Start Yacht and Club 500 Races.

I found this interesting YT video demonstrating an OpenTX rc sailing race timer:
