AboutRegattaWeb
One place to run your racing. Built by sailors, for sailors — from Wednesday night beer cans to world championships.
Scored by the Racing Rules of Sailing. Live results on every screen. Keeps scoring when the signal drops. One event or a multi-stage championship — same platform.
Racing Disciplines
Racing on RegattaWeb
All managed in one platform with a unified competition program model.
Match Racing
Head-to-head tactical boat-to-boat racing
Two teams race directly against each other in flights. The most tactically intense format in sailing — every maneuver matters when there is nowhere to hide.
Racing Formats
Round RobinEvery team races every other team — perfect for seeding
KnockoutSingle or double elimination, best-of series
King of the HillProgressive ladder — win and you advance
Key Features
Multi-Stage Championships
Chain a Round Robin into a Knockout into Finals. Stages can run side-by-side sharing the same boats.
Boat Management Without the Headache
Plan draws, swaps, and handoffs across every stage. The platform tells you when two stages want the same boat.
Rotation and Pairing Sheets
Print-ready rotation sheets with QR codes for the dock. Color balance is enforced so no crew gets stuck on one boat all day.
Public Invite Requests
Competitors apply online, you triage on a kanban board, and accepted teams confirm with a link. No accounts needed.
Race Day
Built for the Water
Score from the committee boat. Check results from the dock. Follow live from shore. Every screen is designed for the conditions you actually race in.
Score from a Phone or Tablet
Big touch targets, swipe gestures, and layouts that work one-handed on a pitching committee boat.
Works Without a Signal
Keep scoring when you lose cell service. Everything syncs the moment you are back in range — no lost results, no reruns.
Live Results on Every Screen
Spectators on shore, coaches on the water, sponsors at the yacht club bar — everyone sees results the moment they land.
Regatta Navigator
From First Gun to Final Whistle
Multi-stage championships are a different sport from single-race weekends. The Navigator keeps the whole competition program in view — planning, running, and handing off between stages without losing the thread.
- Draft the competition program
Drag Round Robins, Knockouts, and Finals into order. Set team counts and boat capacity per stage. Competitors see a public timeline long before the first warning signal.
- Spin up the next stage
When conditions are right, turn a planned chip into a live stage with one click — schedule, fleet, and seeding already configured. No retyping, no paperwork.
- Run the stage
Concurrent stages share the same fleet. The Navigator tells you when two stages want the same boat and keeps scoring, rotations, and results aligned across the whole event.
- Between stages, no guesswork
When a stage finishes, the between-stages ceremony walks the OA through cascade decisions — seeding into the next stage, carry-forward wins, protest impacts — before anyone returns to the dock.
- The championship, scored through
Provisional to official, finals to podium — all under the same program model, all visible to competitors, umpires, and spectators in real time.
Platform
Everything Else the Platform Handles
Running a regatta is more than scoring races. Weather, profiles, documents, protests, audit trails — the quiet machinery that keeps a championship running smoothly so the race committee can focus on the sailing.
AI Event Summaries
Narrative recaps after every scoring update — standings shifts, decisive moments, and the conditions that shaped the racing.
“After the big-breeze second beat, Stars & Stripes found a left shift that nobody else saw and took the lead for keeps. Poole Match kept the pressure on but could not convert — a second place tonight is still enough to hold the series lead by two.
Generated moments after the last finish
Competitor Profiles
Sailors, teams, and boats each get a public profile. Sailing resume, campaign history, crew roster, and results — searchable and shareable.
And everything else
Clear Roles, No Surprises
Event admins run the event. Race committee runs the day. Scorers and umpires do their jobs. Everyone sees exactly what they need to.
Protests and Inspections
File a protest, track the hearing, record the decision, and have the standings update automatically. Equipment inspections built in.
Document Management
Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions, amendments, and results — all in one place, all version-controlled, all easy to find.
Yacht Club Ready
Organizing Authority workflows, membership declarations, and club burgees on every results page. Your club, your brand.
Every Change, Explained
Who entered that result? When was it changed, and why? A readable activity feed answers the questions before they are asked.
Racing Rules of Sailing
Scored by the Book
Every finish, redress, and penalty is handled the way the rulebook says it should be. Juries and protest committees can sign off without second-guessing the math.
