Set the race committee boat and the pin end buoy positions

When the application starts, the red buttons indicate that the line has not been set.

Press the committee boat button when the bow of your boat is on the start line close to the race committee boat. The race committee boat button changes to blue.

Press the pin end buoy button when the bow of your boat is on the start line close to the pin end buoy. The pin end buoy button changes to blue. The distance to the line is 0 meter.

When you move away from the start line, the distance to the line is displayed in grey if you are not on the course side, otherwise, the distance will be negative and displayed in red.

You can set the race committee boat and the pin end buoy positions in any order.
You can readjust the positions of the race committee boat and the pin end buoy by pressing the buttons again.

Here is the diagram of the measured distance in the absence of a bow offset. In that case, it is better to point the race committee boat and the pin end buoy moving slowly towards the line with an angle close to the upwind one.
