£250

AutoHoot is an electronic control unit which can be connected to a suitable horn or sounder to produce a sequence of sound signals with reliable timing removing unnecessary human error. Primarily designed for the use in running sailing races it’s basic operation is simple and intuitive. During the starting sequence AutoHoot’s display shows the countdown time to the start. It comes with a number of pre-programed sequences, and it is possible for the user to write and add their own custom sequences. Other race signals like recalls, shorten course and finish hoots can be made without interrupting

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as RICHARD PAUL RUSSELL LIMITED, number 02746689. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
