“Since moving over to SailSys, our club has experienced less stress and greater efficiencies in race management. 24/7 contact with the SailSys team has enabled all transitional steps to be addressed in real time and by sailing professionals.

In particular, the team’s experience in calculating handicaps and understanding of the plethora of yacht designs throughout Australia has ensured handicap inputs have been entered in a stress free, timely and accurate fashion.

Initiate Sign On, ”Traffic Light” compliance flags, real time cloud results, multiple screens and crew emergency contact access by multiple administration users have all been unexpected added service bonuses!”

“The system is really great to use, love it. It meant that for the first time in 9 years, if I ever had to manage the race whilst being in the UK, I didn’t need to wake up at 3 hours in advance of the race finishing. More importantly, I can manage all the entries whilst looking after my nephew and niece whilst pumpkin picking! ”

“Gosford Sailing Club (GSC) with a fleet of approximately 60 yachts across three divisions required a system to calculate handicaps transparently and publish results, quickly and in an easily accessible format to enhance the sailing experience for club members – and reduce the workload for volunteers.

An enquiry to SailSys was answered surprisingly quickly, then followed up with an online demonstration for administrators and club visit to explain the system to interested members. SailSys was incorporated for race management of the yacht fleet within a few weeks – it was found a high percentage of GSC boats were already in the SailSys database from competing at mixed club events eg Sail Port Stephens.

Starting handicaps were adopted on a balance of actual performance at external events, actual performance in a previous club based handicapping system and performance of similar boats with established performance based handicaps recorded in SailSys. An unexpected benefit is the ability to send information to sailors from within the system.

On seeing the benefits for the GSC Yacht fleet, SailSys has now been adopted by Etchells, Contenders, ILCAs and mixed fleet dinghies at GSC.”

“At Safety Beach Sailing Club we were keen to find an improved solution to our keelboat race management. We particularly wanted to streamline the series and race entry process thereby reducing the load on volunteers.

Switching to SailSys has exceeded our expectations. Race management is now all under one roof on a server based platform that is easy to use and understand. The ability to control all aspects of keelboat sailing from anywhere at anytime has been a game changer.

The technical, handicapping and system support from the SailSys team has been second to none. Thanks and well done to all.”

“Can I congratulate SailSys on having the right amount of flexibility for the Downunder Pro (Windfoiling) we just ran. It was a regatta that had a few challenges and interesting result set ups, and SailSys was able to facilitate everything I needed. I was able to change how the event was set up on day one to the changes the fleet requested. Glad I had SailSys for the regatta. I thought the Windfoilers seriously need a dedicated system to do results the way they do but SailSys made it easy.”

“As a mid-sized club with a fleet size that varies from 3 to 25 boats, we have been amazed by the ease of set-up and processing of races. SailSys is so easy to set up and is logical in its approach to conduct of races. Handicapping is a dream, with proven results week after week, even as boats come and go.

We have used SailSys for a couple of years now, including large events such as Airlie Beach Race Week with almost 200 entrants. SailSys can be configured by members to meet the requirements of any size event, with all tasks performing as expected. The support provided by the SailSys team has been excellent.

Whitsunday Sailing Club are pleased to recommend this product as a well designed solution for any sailing or yacht club.”

“Cronulla Sailing Club is a small Sydney metropolitan sailing club that caters for both Off-the-Beach and Keelboat fleets.

Looking to improve our members outcomes by improving the quality of our execution the club’s management evaluated several Race Management Platforms.

SailSys was selected as it closely met our key requirements. Being cloud-based and multi-user accessible is very important to our volunteers who work across both Off-the-Beach and Keelboat races. This allows us to stay on top of our activities on the run thus reducing our volunteers workload.

Our seasons consist of Summer fleet races and Winter & Twilight pursuit formats. SailSys perfectly caters for these all brilliantly.

The many club trophies are handled automatically, as sub-series point scores, which saves a lot of manual work and allows the option for competitors to track their performances throughout the season.

The huge improvement that we were also looking for was handling both PHS and Class based handicaps with solid supporting data across both our mixed and one design fleets which SailSys has delivered perfectly.

The intuitive online entry system also sorts out document management for compliance, crew on-board recording, pre/post race communications platforms and reporting. The system structure provides peace of mind.

During our implementation, which was triggered just a few weeks prior to summer season, the SailSys team provided extensive personal support. The ease of communication with the SailSys has been over and above our expectations and this is very much appreciated.

There is no doubt that the team at SailSys are absolutely world class in their knowledge and experience of what makes any sailing club successful at achieving its core activities on-water. The structure of the SailSys software then ensures that all the necessary administration, compliance, communication and commercial tools are available seamlessly and intuitively….all together in the one place.

The whole SailSys experience has been excellent. SailSys has enabled us to make a huge leap forward as a sailing organisation.

Our thanks go out to our SailSys friends!”

“I cannot thank you enough for your outstanding assistance with rectifying my naive handicapping for this event.

You managed to make it a fairer regatta whilst maintaining the integrity of the results, and for this I am truly grateful.

Yet another reason why going with SailSys was one of the smartest decisions this club has made.”

“RANSA looks forward to a long association with SailSYS. I am confident it is the best sailing Handicapping and race management system available.”

“My team and I would again like to express our thanks for your support throughout the Etchell Regatta. The on-water processing has radically improved our ability to service our fleets. A key feature was our ability to send a short text to all entries with a simple click of the button. As usual, all competitors had their results before even returning to the dock.”

“Many thanks for processing the Couta Series results so promptly yesterday. It meant we were ready to present our prizes as part of the Gaffers presentation and show a seamless process. Also special thanks for the race administration behind the whole series to get the boats entered and handicapped. Regards and thanks.”

““When I was looking for an alternative race management system, and I saw that SailSys was 100% cloud based, it was a no brainer. It means I don’t need a physical workspace, I can pick my laptop, a friend’s tablet or my phone and I can execute my race management responsibilities anywhere, anytime.

Furthermore the depth of the Handicapping database means handicapping just got a whole lot easier and the results are closer.

While the clubs adopting it gave me confidence, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with the product and the customer service is amazing.”

“You are both amazingly co-operative . Much appreciated”

““In a club run entirely by volunteers, the transition to SailSys for race management has been a positive step.

The user friendly nature of the system has been appreciated by all.

Our race control team love the simplicity of starting, finishing and processing a race using SailSys, and the sailors appreciate the rapid processing and presentation of results.

The cloud based system provides flexibility in preparing and managing our sailing program.

Transition to the new program has been straightforward, with first rate initial and ongoing support provided by SailSys.”

“Working with the SAILSYS team has been a pleasure. We started using the system in 2020 and have watched the system rapidly develop in that short period to include coping with the evolving and often confusing COVID regulations.

The system is comprehensive but remains easy to use which is critical for us as we run everything using members and volunteers. The sms sign-on feature has transformed how we manage our race days and reduced the manual effort by around 50%. The SAILSYS team are easy to work with, very knowledgable and incredibly patient. I recommend SAILSYS to any sailing club looking to move to a better way of managing races and regattas.”
