It beeps every minute until 0 and keeps on counting after that which is useful for General Recall situations.

Tacktick compasses are not bad as starting watches but are usually mounted halfway the spin pole.
The Velocitek Prostart is probably good too but unfortunately not class legal (GPS).


I have one of them. works great & easy to see, appears to have similar functionality as the Ronstan watch. near 1/2 the price!

Interesting. I was finally able to find a N American distributor (oceanracing.com). However, by the time it gets imported and goes through their markup, its about the same as the Ronstan.

Set it to 5mins and 10 seconds so everyone around you does not know hoe long to go! (or 4.40 if you want them over the line) ;-)
