Helping Race Organizers Use Technology to Run Better Regattas
Since our launch, YachtRacing.tv has focused on one mission: bringing you the excitement of sailboat racing.
We’ve covered hometown regattas, national championships, and world-stage events — with a focus on the sailors and the action on the water.
While doing so, we have been reminded that: Great sailboat racing events don’t just happen. They are created with great effort.
Race committees, volunteers, scorers, PROs, measurers, umpires… spend countless hours and heaps of energy bringing a world class regatta to life. These events are heavily influenced by traditions and habits, and lately, by technology.
A New Chapter for YachtRacing.tv
Today, we’re excited to announce a major expansion of our mission:
We’re growing beyond race coverage.
And setting out to help race organizers get the most out of the new regatta management technologies available today.
Technology is transforming race management with:
Automated and RTK-accurate starting systems
Robot marks
Live tracking and telemetry
Auto-finishing systems
Remote umpiring tools
Cloud-based scoring platforms
These tools can dramatically improve the experience for sailors and race organizers — but can also add cost and complexity.
We want to help change that.
Introducing the Regatta Organizers Guide to Race Management Technologies
We’re developing a vendor-neutral, comprehensive guide to modern race-management technology.
This is not a replacement for excellent manuals from:
World Sailing
US Sailing
National Federations
One-Design Classes
Rather, it’s a technology companion to those procedural guides.
The guide will include:
Clear explanations of each category
Comparisons of strengths, limitations, and ideal use cases
Workflows for club regattas, regional events, and championships
Volunteer training and team-readiness tools
Venue-specific recommendations
A complete vendor directory
Templates, checklists, and planning tools
Case studies from regattas around the world
It will be a practical, hands-on resource for PROs, RC teams, event chairs, scorers, measurers, safety officers, and organizers at every level.
Get Involved
Over the coming weeks we’ll be reaching out to:
Race committees
Classes
Clubs
PROs
Sailing foundations
Technology providers
We want your insights and your stories. If you’re interested in participating, please get in touch — we’d love to collaborate.
