Who it is for
Anyone running sailboat races: one-design and handicap fleets, dinghies and keelboats, offshore and distance races, multihulls, windsurfing, kiteboarding, match and team racing, radio sailing, college events and season series.
Yacht clubs
Club racing, the summer series, the annual regatta and the distance race, each with its own classes and scoring, all on one club page.
Class associations
Championships with qualifying and final series, medal races, and results that build every sailor’s record in the class.
College and high school teams
Two-division events scored by school, with A and B division results and the combined team standings.
Community sailing and junior programs
Portsmouth and one-design fleets, regattas run by volunteers, and paperwork that prints.
What is included
Everything below is in every event. There are no tiers and nothing is held back for a paid plan, because there is no paid plan.
Before the event
Club and event setup, the NoR and SI generator, the official notice board, and free online registration with your own questions and required documents.
Race day
Start times per class, finish entry by sail number, time or order, check-in and the safety tally, and messages to every entrant and crew member.
After racing
Scoring under Appendices A to F and the handicap systems fleets use, provisional and final results, online protests and hearings, and exports.

Why it is free
Every event hosted here adds to the Saildex record of sailboat racing and its sailors.
Saildex is a public record of sailboat racing: results archived from scoring sites, and a record for every sailor in them. Results scored here arrive complete, with the people who sailed each race, which an import from another site often cannot provide. Hosting events well is the surest way to build that record.
So there are no entry fees, no card payments, no donations and no paid tier. More on why, and what happens to your data.
How approval works
A person reviews every club and every event before anything about it is public. It keeps spam and fake events off a free service.
Name your club
Sign in and create the club or organization running the event.
Set up the event
Work on it privately for as long as you need. Only its organizers can see it.
Submit for review
A reviewer checks the club is real and the event is a sailing event, and you are emailed the decision.
Publish
Once approved, the event is public with registration open. Most later edits go live at once; changing the event’s name, description, website, club or contact email sends it back for review.
The review policy lists what reviewers check.
Start an event
Sign in, create your club, and set up the event. The quick start takes you through it in order.
