From the first signal to the series standings. More time with your club. Less time typing up results. SailScore brings race timing, corrected results and series scoring together on your iPhone or iPad. MAKE EVERY SIGNAL COUNT Run the five-minute start sequence with a clear countdown, sound cues and animated flag guidance. See when to raise and lower the class flag and Blue Peter, from the warning signal through to the start. EVERY FINISH. ONE TAP. Record each boat as it crosses the line. See who has finished and who is still racing, and undo a mistaken entry. Sail numbers, boat classes and handicap ratings keep the fleet ready before the start. MIXED FLEET. CORRECTED RESULTS. Turn the finishes you record into elapsed times, yardstick-corrected results and race points. Reveal the podium and move straight to the results, without re-entering times between timing and scoring. YOUR WHOLE SERIES. IN YOUR POCKET. Bring races together in one clear scoresheet. Use Low Point scoring with configurable discards and scoring codes. Combine fleets or score by boat class, and choose whether standings follow the boat or the helm. RESULTS YOUR WHOLE CLUB CAN FOLLOW Publish a series and share one web link. Sailors, parents and supporters can view published races and standings on a phone or computer without an app or account. Embed the results in your club website so the season has a home everyone can reach. YOUR SEASON. YOUR STANDING. Join your club and link your sailor record to find your own place in the series. Follow places gained or lost after each race, revisit completed races and keep up with your club's season. KEEP RACING WITHOUT RECEPTION Sign in and prepare your sailors and series while connected, then keep timing and recording finishes when reception drops. Saved races sync when connectivity returns. Publishing and sharing results require an internet connection. Published results are provisional and reflect synced races and corrections. Built for club race officers, volunteer scorers and everyone chasing their next place in the fleet.
