LaserRacer Support Page

LaserRacer is like having a Laser Sailing Coach in-hand to guide you through setup, preparation and tuning for the day's conditions.

The Laser® Class appeals to the beginner through the Olympic class sailor. LaserRacer accommodates every level by giving the sailor a starter set of articles, edited by a top Laser® Coach. Racers are encouraged to customize Rigging, Control and Coaching notes to fit their current needs.


Features:

   Pictures and clear drawings for rigging -- pinch and zoom as needed
   Articles on Setup, Rigging and Coaching
   Add, edit or delete articles to customize the app for your level of sailing
   Settings Grid to tune for current conditions

Description:
LaserRacer has 7 Tabs, filled with information:
  • Settings
  • Rigging
  • Controls
  • Coaching
  • Images
  • Resources
  • About


The Rigging, Controls and Coaching tabs have articles edited by Laser® Coach Andrew Scrivan. All three allow the sailor to add, edit or delete their own notes. Since the Laser® Class appeals to all skill levels, sailors are encouraged to keep their own notes up to date and focused.





To Add a Note, simply tap the + button on the upper right corner. You can then add a note -- "My new notes" in this example. You can type it in or use the iPhone's cut and paste feature to drop it into the new page.

To delete a note, tap the Edit button in the upper left corner. Just like all other iPhone apps, you can tap the red minus sign and confirm deletion by pressing "Delete".
