Running a regatta with several hundred boats and competitors spread over nearly twenty fleets and four race courses needs a robust and comprehensive IT system. Race Week’s custom app means Race Teams know who to expect on the start line, the Safety Team can quickly make sure everyone is accounted for, and results are published pronto.
Each year we like to introduce something new and in 2022 the
emphasis is on empowering entrants and minimising paper. You can now go back to
your entry form online anytime and keep it accurate and up to date; no need to
traipse up to the race office and fill a paper form.
Most people won’t need this but there is always the odd
typo, last minute change of crew, update of emergency contact. If you have a
choice of rigs you can even defer that decision right up to your first race.
For details of how, see Using the Online Entry Form in the Documents
section of the Official Notice Board.
Serious note: with empowerment comes the opportunity for abuse of power
so, when it comes to making changes to your entry form, please play fair and
keep in mind that “a regatta entry is one boat sailed by one or more competitors”
(NoR 3.2).
Also we now have -
Results archive back to 2014. See the Information menu.
New results presentation in both the results app and
the rolling display.
Push notifications Get pinged on your phone when
notices to competitors and results are published. Subscribe via the Information
