HAL's Race Results Mk.2 - Sailing Race Scoring Made Easy

HAL's Race Results has been in existence since 2001.

HAL's Race Results Mk.1 is a Microsoft Access application that first came out in 2001 and has been in use ever since by many clubs around the world. Its last update (version 8.19) is still available and can be downloaded from the Mk.1 web site. It has two companion programs:

• HAL's Club Results Service. This is a program that uploads results from HAL Mk.1 to a server, from where they can be fed into your club's web site.
• HAL's Performance Analyser. This is a program that analyses the performance of boats in comparison with their handicap.

HAL's Race Results Mk.2. This is a stand-alone program that incorporates all the above features of HAL Mk.1.

• Versions 9.11 to 9.20 were brought out during the spring and early summer of 2009 introducing increasing functionality at each issue. Version 9.21 was never issued.
• Version 9.22 is the latest. It adds a logon for race officers and the ability to input elapsed times (stopwatch times) as well as clock times.
• Version 10.0 is the first beta release of the 2010 program.

Future plans include team racing, series run in flights, as used in the Topper Class, and features to help with the administration of protests and jury decisions.
