When we started brainstorming about the ProStart, we asked sailors which functions they actually use on the SC1, the predecessor to the ProStart. What was surprising to us was that no one used VMG function and everybody used the distance-to-line function. A light bulb went off in our heads and we decided to design the ProStart around the distance-to-line function. Every bit of our effort was focused on making the distance-to-line feature easy to use, effective and communicate clearly. The result is the best distance-to-line tool ever.
Our number one goal in designing the ProStart was to make sure that the product would never undermine your crew’s performance with unnecessary distractions during the pre-start. The front surface of the ProStart is reserved for the three most important start-related buttons: the pin , boat and gun buttons. The large size of these buttons makes them easy to press, even with gloved hands and easy to find in the midst of chaos.
* The ProStart’s sunlight-readable high-contrast LCD screen features 30mm (1.2″) tall digits in a font that’s optimized for readability. This makes the instrument easy to read with a quick glance and helps you keep your attention focused outside the boat.
* The ProStart’s clearly marked buttons do exactly what you expect them to. This makes the ProStart easy to learn and easy to explain to your crew.
* The ergonomic design of the ProStart makes it’s large buttons easy to press with one hand even when your boat is pitching around.
* The ProStart has been tested to IPX-8, the most rigorous industrial water-resistance standard. This means that you can count on the ProStart to survive wipeout after epic wipeout.
