COUNTDOWN
Before the countdown starts, the 10-minute re-
volving disc is grey and the 10 is at the bottom
between indicators 45 and 40. The first 5 minutes
are displayed (from 6 to 10). When the gun is fired,
start the counting (press button ). After 1 mi-
1
nute, the 5 appears on a blue background and the
10 disappears. After 5 minutes, the second hand
is at 12 o'clock and the 5 apertures are blue. The
race official fires again to confirm the continuation
of the start.

counting on the watch by pressing button

by pressing button 4 again. After 10 minutes,

TACTICAL PLANNER
The Alpina Seastrong Yacht Timer watches are
fitted with a tactical planner, in the form of a start
line drawn on the dial. A "+" and a "-" indicate
4
a favourable or unfavourable starting position at
the starting buoy.
This planner helps the sailor make decisions
concerning the boat's position on the starting
line. To determine the best position on the star-
4
ting line, use the compass on the bezel as fol-
lows:
- measure the wind direction with your compass
(anemometer);
- turn the bezel to have the wind angle at 12
o'clock;
- sail from the starting boat to the starting line
buoy to determine the orientation of the star-
ting line;
- look where the orientation of the starting line is
located on the bezel of your watch. If the angle
is between 9 and 12 o'clock, it is best to start
from the buoy side. If this angle is between 6
and 9 o'clock, it is best to start from the starting
boat side.
