Point of full disclosure, I really would be hard pressed to be any LESS interested in yet another watch company partnering with yet ANOTHER yacht racing team.  Rich people have enough money and support.  That is, after all, why they are rich ; )

Having said that, this is a very interesting, very practical, VERY INTELLIGENTLY designed regatta timer.
