SAIL SCORING MADE EASY

One click scoring

Immediate results.

accurate countback

Results sharing, what people are saying.

Sail scoring with the Afleet app makes it easy, and it takes less time. Using an Android tablet or phone we can typically score a race (single fleet) in less than one minute.

If you’re like us you love radio sailing. You attend club days. You might attend regattas. And (lucky you) you might be responsible for scoring some of these events. If so, read on; this is for you.

The Afleet app is all about making it easy for those wonderful people who do the scoring for us. It takes time, and we all care about the results, so it has to be accurate. And, of course, we want the results now; because we want to get home.

Keeping club day or single fleet regatta scores up to date is simple and fast. We can have the results of a regatta before the last boat, in the last race, has been put back on its stand.

THE NEXT GENERATION IN PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE FOR SAILBOAT RACING

The Tactiqs® Performance System was designed by a team of sail boat racers from the US and Europe as the ultimate comprehensive boat performance system. It will substantially improve your understanding of the conditions and the race course, and help you make better decisions and win more races. Post-race analysis tools give you the details on your performance and let you review your races by numbers as well as track individual sail usage and cross-overs to make optimum use of your inventory. The system was built from the ground up with simplicity of use in mind - the smarts are hidden behind an intuitive user interface.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION FROM SMALL BOAT TO YACHT RACING

The system utilizes your boat's sensor data via a wireless NMEA interface connected to the Tactiqs® application, allowing the crew to use any number of iOS devices as customizable displays for 62 different performance metrics and an additional 25 foiling metrics. For smaller boats without instruments the system uses the iOS devices' built-in sensors and basic wind input controls combined with smart tracking algorithms. For perfect wind data on dinghies and small keel boats, we also support Calypso Instrument's Ultrasonic Bluetooth wind sensor. Additional wearables in the form of the Tactiqs® augmented-reality glasses and smart watches (Android WearOS 2.1+) make the perfect fit for all boat sizes and crew positions.

CONFIGURE MY BOAT

For dinghy sailors the best use model is to velcro an iPhone in a waterproof case to the area right behind the mast. We use the internal sensors and GPS of your phone to collect track information, heading, and boat attitude.

The Tactiqs® application provides a wind input function in the user interface when no external wind data is available. You can mark the wind direction based on a wind shot, or a specific point of sail. From there, the app tracks your point of sail and wind shifts. Alternatively, we support the Ultrasonic Portable Wind Sensor from Calypso Instruments, which provides full wind data on all courses during your training sessions.

For group or one-on-one coaching, the Tactiqs® system provides an option to record wind information on a coach boat or at a nearby club house using our SailHub™ weather station. The SailHub™ system broadcasts the wind data live to all Tactiqs® users in the class over an area of up to one kilometer.

For boat classes that limit the use of electronics the user interface can be set to a restricted mode that only shows the magnetic heading and a start timer, or additionally the distance to the starting line. Independent of the UI mode the system always records the track and available boat data for analysis afterwards.

For foiling boats we specifically recommend to connect our augmented reality glasses to your iPhone in hotspot mode as they are very well-suited as display in high-speed dinghies.

For small keel boat sailors the best use model is to mount an iPhone or an iPad Mini in a waterproof case in the area right behind the mast. We use the internal sensors and GPS of your phone to collect track information, heading, and boat attitude. If you have limited instruments such as a speed sensor the Tactiqs® app can use such data in combination with the internal iOS sensors. Several companies (e.g. Yacht Devices) provide small low-power gateways that can read NMEA-183 serial data from your instruments and broadcast the information via Wifi.

For classes that limit the use of electronics the user interface can be set to a restricted mode that only shows the magnetic heading and a start timer, or additionally the distance to the starting line. Independent of the UI mode the system always records the track and available boat data for analysis afterwards.

For club racers with boats of 30' and longer the best use model is to mount an iPad in the cockpit or down below and provide a charging supply for longer races. If your instruments do not supply heel and pitch information you can use the iOS internal sensors instead. In this case please mount the iPad perpendicular to the boat's centerline for the heel and pitch measurement to be correct.

Your instrument data is used by the Tactiqs® app via Wifi. If your boat system already has a Wifi access point you directly configure your NMEA server address and port in the Tactiqs® app settings. If you do not have a Wifi interface you can use an NMEA-to-Wifi gateway (e.g. from Yacht Devices) that can read NMEA-183 and NMEA-2000 data, and transmit the information as NMEA-183 over Wifi. For boats with a B&G H5000 system, the Tactiqs® app can also retrieve the instrument data via the B&G WebSocket interface.

The Tactiqs® system allows you to use multiple iOS devices in parallel. The first device you connect will operate as the master device to calculate all metrics and generate the race log. Any subsequent device you connect to your boat's network will allow to repeat any data from the master device, and also provide remote control functions to set the starting line and timer, and select/create race courses.

In addition to the iOS devices we recommend the Tactiqs® augmented reality glasses for the helmsman as they provide the ideal combination of focusing on tell tales and waves while knowing exactly your boat performance and ideal course.

Key mectrics calculated by the Tactiqs® app can be transmitted back to on-deck marine displays as transducer values (XDR over NMEA-183) as custom data over the B&G WebSocket interface, or via a Yacht Devices NMEA-2000 Wifi adapter to Garmin GNX displays. We also support display of target speed performance, start timing, and layline information to B&G H2000 and H3000 systems.

For grand prix racers with full electronics such as a WTP3 system the best use model is to mount an iPad in the nav station and provide a charging supply for longer races. As part of your boat's setup on the tactiqs.io web portal you can set up custom transducers, load cells, and manual trim inputs e.g. for daggerboards to fully integrate with custom instrument systems. The system also allows you to send Tactiqs® metrics back to your marine displays on deck.

Your instrument data is used by the Tactiqs® app via Wifi. The app can read NMEA-183 data as well as data provided via the Expedition protocol. For boats with a B&G H5000 or WTP3 system, the Tactiqs® app can also retrieve the instrument data via the B&G WebSocket interface.

Key mectrics calculated by the Tactiqs® app can be transmitted back to on-deck marine displays as transducer values (XDR over NMEA-183), as custom data over the B&G WebSocket interface, and via a Yacht Devices NMEA-2000 Wifi adapter to Garmin GNX displays. Both H5000 and WTP3 systems can map these to custom display values on your cockpit or mast displays.

In addition to the iOS devices we recommend the Tactiqs® augmented reality glasses for the helmsman and tactician. On boats over 50 feet the trimmers and bow person also substantially benefit from personal displays with performance and start data.

Additionally, the system provides a visual messaging service between the master device and any Tactiqs® augmented reality glasses. This function allows the tactician to very effectively communicate sail changes and mark maneuvers including countdowns on larger yachts.

The Calypso Instruments Ulrasonic Portable wind sensor connects via Bluetooth directly to the Tactiqs® app to provide you a complete set of performance data on boats without instruments. Enable the sensor as a data source under the Tactiqs® wind settings, and you are good to go.

Powered by a built-in solar panel module, and with a diameter of 70mm the sensor can be easliy installed on any small boat including dinghies without any wiring. It is fully waterproof, so you don't have to worry about it if you capsize.

For more information including pricing, please visit Calypso Intrument's website for the Ultrasonic Portable.

START PERFECTLY BY THE NUMBERS EVERY TIME

During the pre-start period the system continuously calculates distance and direction to the starting line. Based on your boat's VPP we determine how many seconds you are from the line, and how much time you have to burn for a perfect start. The 3D bird's eye view lets you see yourself in the box and know exactly where you are in relation to the starting line. The system also continuously updates the starting line bias so you always know the preferred side. The wind graph shows you oscillating and persistent patters and helps you decide which side of the course to go first. See the START module in action.

KEEP TRACK OF THE COURSE AND LAY LINES

Once in the race, master the course and the windshifts by knowing exacty where you are and whether you are on the favored tack. The 3D bird's eye view shows you the next mark and its laylines so you can focus on your competitors instead of running numbers in your head. A separate course overview shows you the complete picture including wind angles for all legs, so you can plan your sail choice well ahead of the next rounding.

INTEGRATED WEATHER FOR THE BEST ROUTE TO THE FINISH

Use the chart view on your iPad to plan out the best route for your next offshore, coastal, or inshore regatta. Based on pre-configured or manually created courses Tactiqs® provides you with the forecasted wind conditions for each leg. For longer races compare weather routing solutions for your preferred wind sources and find the fastest route to the finish. Sail angles and wind statistics help you find the optimum sail selection for the race. Tactiqs® supports Navionics charts (requires active Navionics subscription), and raster charts (BSB or GeoTIFF). See the Navigator module in action.

FULL INTEGRATION WITH POPULAR INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS

The Tactiqs® iOS app is fully integrated with B&G H5000 based instrument systems, enabling the display of Tactiqs® calculated metrics on B&G marine displays. Furthermore, the Wind Calibration function in the Tactiqs® Analyzer can be used to quickly determine TWA and TWS corrections for upwind, reaching & downwind and store them directly in the H5000 processor - even while racing. The Tactiqs® app also supports sending its metrics to Garmin GNX120/130 displays via Yacht Devices' NMEA2000 gateways, and can control GNX page selection based on the RLC, windward/leeward & offshore race modes activated in the app.

THE ULTIMATE PERSONAL DISPLAY

As the ultimate wearable display solution, the Tactiqs® system offers custom augmented reality displays in the form-factor of sun-glasses that provide you the key data right within your field of vision. These glasses are fully integrated with the iOS application and can replicate any metrics of choice organized into three numerical and three graphical layouts. Control of key functions such as the race timer and pinning the starting line are directly available via the integrated touch interface. See the Tactiqs® glasses in action.

COMPLETE ANALYTICS FOR YOUR TACTICS AND BOAT SPEED

The post-race analysis tools provide you two key data sets - how well you did around the course, i.e. your tactical decisions, and how fast you were sailing. The course view shows you your track color-coded with your speed or VMG performance, with your actual versus optimum wind angles, and wether you were lifted or headed. The SailCast® viewer on the tactiqs.io portal lets you replay your uploaded races and metrics to get a full understanding of each moment in the race.

KNOW YOUR BEST SAIL FOR THE CONDITIONS

The live polar data taken from steady-state measurements shows your speed performance against VPP targets over the race, and a heatmap identifies the points of sail you spent most of your time on. The system enables you to track individual sail usage during the race and aggregates sail-specific performance data in your Tactiqs® account. This allows you to find the best sail for a specific wind speed & angle, and fine-tune the cross-overs in your inventory. Dual-camera iPhones can take perspective-corrected sail shape images directly in the Tactiqs® app, the photos are a synchronized part of your performance data history in your account and accessible in sail-specific timeline charts. Experience all sail analytics tools.

SAILCAST® RACE VISUALIZER

The SailCast® feature of Tactiqs® visualizes races uploaded to the tactiqs.io portal right in your web browser. You can select the playback speed, jump directly to a specific leg or mark rounding, and choose between areal and chase cameras. Annotations provide you with an immediate understanding of the course geometry and wind conditions, and each boat shows their individual speed and wind data. Race photos taken in the Tactiqs® app are automatically shown in the media timeline. This level of insight into a race is invaluable for post-race dock talks and training sessions, allowing the whole class to benefit from using Tactiqs®. See SailCast® in action.

MANAGE YOUR BOAT AND SAIL INVENTORY

The tactiqs.io website lets you quickly set up your boat, the corresponding VPP data, and your sail inventory to enable sail tracking and live polar data by sail type. Tactiqs® provides a database of popular VPPs, so chances are your boat is ready to go. Separately, you can always fine-tune your boat's VPP data. While our master VPP data base is available to all users, your personalized VPP data is only visible to you.

EASY RACE AND COURSE MANAGEMENT

Race data such as regattas, course definitions, and course marks are easily set up and shareable via the tactiqs.io portal and our map-based mark wizard. For windward-leeward racing the iOS app provides a course configurator that lets you create ad-hoc courses based on number of legs and direction & distance to the weather mark. On race day the app provides you a live course overview with wind angles for each leg to plan your sail choices.

COMPLETE COACHING SOLUTION FOR DINGHIES AND SMALL KEEL BOATS

Tactiqs® is fully integrated with our SailHub™ coaching system. The SailHub™ iOS app and weather station lets you broadcast the current wind direction and speed directly from your coach boat to the fleet around you. This enables boats without any instruments to generate complete training logs and lets students quickly identify where they can improve.

The built-in SailHub™ messaging system allows the coach to send training drills to all students and to remotely control the start timer for fully synchronized practice sessions.

The combination of Tactiqs® with SailHub™ on a coach boat also enables very accurate sail & trim comparison between boats for advanced coaching sessions and sail shape development.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT SAILHUB™

The SailHub™ system is used on the coach boat to enable full wind information for any type of student boat, and to effectively communicate with the class. The mobile SailHub™ weather station in conjunction with the SailHub™ iOS app continuously calculates the true wind direction and speed on the coach boat and broadcasts this information to the associated Tactiqs® devices used by the class. The system uses Bluetooth technology to operate independent of cellular networks and covers an area of approx. a 500 meter radius around the coach boat. The system allows for different SailHub™ groups in case multiple classes are held in the same area.

Additionally, the SailHub™ app provides a messaging interface that allows training instructions to be broadcasted to all participants, and a synchronized timer service that maintains a single countdown for all participants.

The SailHub™ weather station is supplied in a travel case that contains the wind sensor, a quick-connect 8-foot carbon mast, and a battery to operate the coach boat system for a full day on one charge - just add your iPhone or iPad and you are fully set up for the next level of coaching.

Pricing The SailHub™ weather station kit is available from us for US $1495,-. Depending on your class structure the students can individually subscribe to Tactiqs® (e.g. for coaching teams that sail together regularly), or we offer custom subscriptions to the Tactiqs® service for sailing classes with varying students.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

"Tactiqs® is a must-have for any skipper who demands the best from their boat. Having speed, wind, and performance data at your eyelids gives a remarkable edge in decision-making when on the race course." Mike Price, Ullman Sails, Hawaii "I have been using Tactiqs® now for several years and have been very impressed with its overall performance. What sets this aside from the others is its ability to focus purely on your boat, tweeking the VPPs, analysing your race and tracking boat performance by sail inventory. I have used the Raptor glasses with the heads up display, and although initially I had to get used to the info right in front of your sight, I now find them very easy to use knowing the info is there when I focus on it. To finish off, this app with the addition of the glasses is for the serious racer. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed." Steve Emery, Hyde Sails, South Australia "A year ago I stumbled by chance on the Tactiqs® App. Very quickly, I realized that I had found the right tool for our training and racing program. From the set up of the boat to the acquisition of the data real time, all the functionalities are available at the swipe of your finger. A very intuitive design. Combining information on the boat and live environment data gives the skipper and/or tactician a live analysis of the race course with accurate forecast of lay lines and time or distance to the marks. Immediately during our first training session, we saw the benefit of accurate real time feedback on performance and VPPs. Sessions after sessions, the helming and trimming became much more precise, and week after week we saw the boat’s performance improved dramatically. The after sessions debriefs were also made very easy thanks to a post sailing report generated automatically. Within a couple of months, thanks to Tactiqs’ realtime race course analysis, our racing results started to improve as well. We took full advantage of the pre-start analysis and it became a second nature to optimize the boat to its max potential. On our journey, we rose from the bottom of the standings to the underdog to one of the top contenders. The Tactiqs® app has been an essential contributor to that success. From a pre-race perspective, it is again easy to use. Being a geometrical or a passage race, setting up race courses is easy and quick. Once defined, marks and race courses are stored in a shared database for all users to enjoy so to avoid duplication of work. Finally, and in my opinion, a critical point, Tactiqs® support has been outstanding. As we came up with various requests to add some functionalities, the support team was very responsive, and the implementation happened quickly thanks to a weekly app update cycle. In short, it has been a very satisfying experience, and the results really speak for themselves." Jinn HKG2509 - J-122E, Hong Kong "Tactiqs® has been a great addition to the Beneteau Oceanis 55. The flexibility and vast volume of data available to display is a strong value add to the entire crew that is now able to stay in connection with the performance of the boat over multiple days of racing. Specifically, the performance reference to the boat's polars provides a never ending competition amongst the crew to perform better than the last shift or driver. This addition to the existing 5 B&G Zeus chart plotters has really been valuable to increase performance and fun on the boat." Thank you for a great product and support!" David Normandin, Beneteau Oceanis Owner, Dana Point, CA "We won our last championship with the aid of Tactiqs®. It’s easy to use and easy to read. Given that it has several tabs and screens you can easily set up each set of metrics for the racing mode you are in. Great maps feature and easy to set up fixed courses. Also it is a big plus to dive into the race analytics when the day is over." Matias Zapiola, Navigator for Gaucho ARG-4400, Argentina

SAILPro         A New Concept in YACHT RACE SCORING                     Login SailPro is a unique yacht race scoring system designed to handle all on-the-water Race Committee computing needs while being accessible via any smart phone or tablet computer.  Like all newer scoring systems, it is used and operated via a browser. However, SailPro need not be internet based and thereby is not absolutely tied to WIFI or cell-service.  SailPro uses a client-server concept allowing any browser-equipped device to be a client served either on the internet at sailpro.org, or by a local (ie. on-board RC signal boat) Raspberry Pi computer. SailPro is simple, easy to learn, and uses a straight-forward method of navigating around the four main race scoring tasks:   Regatta identification, Class/Start splits, Competitor entry, and Finishing/Scoring. SailPro's simplicity is easily visible: have a look at its initiation screen below. Therein, the four key areas of race scoring control can be clearly identified. REGATTA SET-UP Displayed above is the actual starting screen used by SailPro to initiate a new regatta. Typically, a new (or recurring) regatta is planned around a some basic ideas. It will be for a specific group or class of boats, and have a name, venue, managers and target dates assigned. All this information can be entered into the above initial SailPro screen . Most of the data fields are self-evident, and some of them can be pre-set or controlled as configured options. As mentioned above, there are four primary sections on the screen: REGATTA IDENTIFICATION: Defines the basic characteristics of the regatta, its name, identifier, date, etc., and is fairly easy to understand. The Club Name can be pre-set as might be appropriate. The Regatta ID is a user-defined, coded identifier for the regatta, and the regatta's data files are named with this code. The last field of the Identification area is 'Number of Races,' which is related to the 'Classes,Races&Starts' frame to the right. Also there are three buttons which are unavailable initially: Submit, Hide/Show Entries, and Add Race. Note that data entered into SailPro only exists in the browser, and is stored on the server only after being submitted. CLASSES,RACES&STARTS: (CRS) A class is a grouping of boats that will race and be scored against one another. A class will typically have a set start time in each race, and two classes may be started together (can have the same start time). But classes and starts are bound together one-to-one. One Race is a series of starts, one for each class, and all starts for one race will occur on one date in sequence. A class can consist of several (or many) competitors. But a competitor can only be in one class for the regatta. Therefore a competitor can only start and be scored one time in each race. Initially the objective of this CRS section is to build a table which defines the first race date, the classes, and a scoring method for each class, plus the probable starting sequence. Therefore the required fields are the date, class and the 'ScoreAs' columns. Start times, distances and courses may be set and can be changed (and probably will be) before finishers are entered for the race. A Class is given a 'Class code' or ID, usually an abbreviation like PHRFA or CLUB, for example. After entering each class, the 'Add Start' button is clicked to enter the next class. Only the first race needs to be defined because the SailPro server will copy this initial table of starts for more planned races, the number of copies (initially 3) being set in the identification section field 'Number of Races.' The last CRS column, 'ScoreAs' sets the scoring method using configured drop-down options being: Handicap on Distance (BHoD), Club Handicap on Time (CHoT), Time on Time (ToT), One-Design (OD), or Portsmouth Yardstick (PY). The following two areas of the screen (Entries and Finishes) are not initially usable. They are shown here for illustration only, because basically, when a regatta is first defined, it will not have any competitors, nor any finished races. ENTRIES: Each competitor is one entry in the regatta, identified by its sail number, and is defined in the 'Entries' section. Entered yacht data builds a table of boat information consisting of sail number, yacht name, type, skipper, rating, etc. As each boat is entered, a new line will open for the next boat. Initially the last column 'Class' is an open free-form field, but after submitting classes in the CRS section, this class field will be set using a selection of drop-down options of only defined classes (a configured option). FINISHES: Initially entry of 'Finishes' is restricted against any input because there are no races and no competitors defined. It is shown on this initial screen because it is always on this one primary SailPro web-page. Although not yet defined, it is set to receive finishes for Race Number 1. Only two fields must be entered to record the finish of each boat: Sail Number and Finish Time. An optional Field entitled 'Status' is available for recording status and penalty codes which can be selected from a configured drop down list: DNC, DNF, DNS, DSQ, OCS, etc. Want better insight into SailPro? There are three ways to get a better feel for how SailPro operates: 1)Review the Pseudo-Demo, 2)Utilize the DEMO Yacht Club, and 3)Initiate live SailPro scoring for a yacht club. Probably the most expedient and beneficial approach would be to perform these operations in that sequence. PSEUDO DEMONSTRATION The Pseudo-Demonstration pages are actual SailPro screens, being driven by SailPro Javascript functions, and show the true look-and-feel of SailPro. Please be aware that these samples do not connect to any server nor do they update any data base. Therefore data entered in the demo is not saved, nor is it processed at all, meaning the demo does not fully perform online race scoring. DEMONSTRATION: Initiation Screen PSEUDO-DEMONSTRATION: Mid-Regatta Screen Notes on Pseudo-Demonstration Pages The above two screens (Initial and Mid-Regatta) are samples of the one primary SailPro processing page. Comparing these two screens shows several differences between them, such as Functional ordering and Race buttons. (Did you try them? -- ie. click-on R1, R2, R3) Some changes indicate SailPro's configuration options. For example, SailPro may be configured to provide for loading the Entries table from another source, such as a prior regatta or an independent online registration function (SailPro has its own). Also, display order of SailPro's sub-sections and their view can be controlled, as well as being shown or hidden. Typically all sections are displayed, and after initial set-up, the 'Finishes' section will be displayed before the entry section, because generally, most on-going race processing involves finishing and producing view-able results. When accessing a regatta in-process, the 'Finishes' section initially displays as a line of blank fields awaiting entry of a finisher for the next race (Race 4 in Demo). Each boat is finished by keying-in its sail-number and finish-time, after which a new line is opened for the next finisher. This process builds a finish-log for the race. After the log is submitted, it can be reviewed by clicking on a Race/Results button (R1, R2, etc.) appearing in the Finishes section. This review screen also allows for modifications, updates and additions, and includes a 'Results' button for producing (and publishing) a tidy 'Results report.' BTW, The mid-regatta demo defines only two classes, seven races and twenty-six entries, (the respective maximums are 9, 9, 999). Also, sample sail numbers used are only four-digits because doing so intentionally simplifies the demo. (Sail numbers in SailPro can be up to 9 characters long, such as 'USA123456' which can be entered into the Entries screen by clicking on the 'Add Boat' button.) Because it has no back-end processor, the pseudo-demo does not perform the more-complex calculations such as actual race or series scoring, or changing a race parameter (eg. start-time or distance) after it is scored. These functions are handled by the server. However the demo scoring pages were produced by the SailPro server program. In addition, some pseudo-demo functions may appear to hit dead-ends because they will await a server response which does not occur nor will it ever. There are two ways to exercise the Demo Yacht Club: A)The Scoring Page appears identical to the mid-regatta Pseudo-Demo (it may have been altered), but is fully functional and includes all SailPro scoring services. See its publishable results via any Race button (i.e. R4), then click-on Results . B)The full Club Demo shows the Regatta-Menu page which is the first screen displayed whenever a user logs into an active SailPro club. Go-Live with SAILPRO Actual, on-line SailPro race scoring functionality can be set-up for a club at the following web-page: Initiate Sailpro . This link is used to both initiate a new club and for on-going access to an existing club (one previously set-up). Hence, the page requests an email-address for a user-id, and a password. To start SailPro for a club, an email address and a club identifier (abbreviation) is required. Your club identifier must be less than 7 characters, and will be entered into the password field (it will not display). Creating a new SailPro club requires entry of a SailPro admin passcode. The passcode will be emailed to the club administrator at the entered email address. Upon return to SailPro, login using this club administrator email address, and the SailPro passcode. The administrator must then identify the club by entering its name; then entering his own name and a new password for this SailPro administrator account. This regular password must be more than 7 characters in length. After initially logging-in and completing this set-up task, the standard SailPro menu for the club is displayed. This menu shows all regattas for the club plus two admin functions. Initially there is only one regatta, a demonstration regatta/series (DS2020), which provides test data for exploring SailPro's features and functionality. After exercising the system using this data, a neophyte user will likely find SailPro to be comprehensive and yet easy and intuitive. An hour of exploration will give a user the knowledge to initiate SailPro for scoring their own regatta. The administrative functions provide ways of setting club-wide race scoring parameters and for initiating a new regatta. Racing parameters control such conditions as Time Limits, Boat Changes, Penalty Scores, Throw-Outs, etc. Initial parameters are probably acceptable for your club, but they may be modified as necessary using the 'Club Option' selection. Start New Regatta Starting a new regatta in SailPro uses the same Initiation Screen as displayed above (and was used in the Pseudo-Demonstration). This screen is ubiquitous in SailPro. As discussed above, the screen is comprised of four areas, and, in general, the data fields on it are fairly evident, but a few items deserve additional explanation. Most of the data in the Identification area is simply descriptive, meaning used only in titles and descriptions to various reports, etc. A critical field in the ident-area is 'Regatta ID' which is a free-form, user selected code and is used widely in SailPro as the identifier for the regatta. To allow a casual user (non-scorer) to easily identify it, this ID should be an abbreviation or acronym of the regatta name. It must be unique and should include an annual focus. So a good ID for the annual 'Summer Solstice Series' for 2023 might be SSS23. The CRS or Race-Schedule area is documented above, including a definition of what a SailPro racing class is. This race-schedule table defines the dates, classes, start-times and other regatta-calendar parameters. Scoring rules (or mechanisms or formulas) are always defined for a class of boats which compete against each other under that scoring method. So a scoring method is declared for each class in this race-schedule table, under the 'ScoreAs' title or field. Scoring methods are handicapping mechanisms that allow dis-similar boats to vie competitively against each other. Basically, a boat's handicap number (HCP) adjusts its actual race elapsed time (ET: time between starting and finishing) to a corrected time (CT). For a given race, boats in each class are then ranked by corrected time. The class winner is the boat having the lowest corrected time. ENTRIES:   Sailpro has three methods for handling competitor-entry: 1)Direct data entry; 2)Copy from existing regatta; 3)Online by competitor. The Regatta Initiation screen includes a field labeled: 'Copy Entries From.' Enter a regatta ID here to have all competitors (and classes) copied from that regatta into this newly defined regatta. The 'Entries' section of SailPro's primary screen becomes a display-table of entries, and can also be used for direct competitor entry. Using the internet, competitors can self-enter into any SailPro regatta. After creating a new regatta, a line will appear at the bottom of the main regatta menu screen which states 'NOR hot-link for Open Registration...' This line shows a web-link that can be copied into any web-page for providing a hot-link to the SailPro self-entry screen for the new regatta.
