Race days worth sharing
Your job is to make the club look good and be seen doing it, usually with no budget and no photographer. This page is about what the racing itself can give you.
Sailing is unwatchable from the shore
The boats are dots, the interesting part happens a kilometre away, and the only thing you have to show a sponsor afterwards is a results PDF that nobody opens.
The picture your race day deserves — and nobody on the beach can see
The racing you already run, made watchable
Boats named, tracked and moving, with the wind alongside. The same picture that runs the race is the one that makes it possible to follow from the balcony.
The live fleet view
A replay worth posting
A start replay is a better piece of content than a photo of a mark rounding, because something happens in it. It is generated by the racing rather than by you standing in a RIB with a camera.
Race replay
Stories the racing writes for you
Best start, fastest boat, most places gained — computed for every race, with the sailor and the number. Three posts a week that nobody had to invent.
Race highlights in the RaceZen app
Numbers you can put in a report
Entries, fleets, races run, results published, notices and protests — the things a committee or a sponsor asks for at the end of a season, without anyone rebuilding them from a spreadsheet.

Questions clubs and classes ask
What can we actually show people?
- A live view of the fleet with boats named and moving, and the wind alongside.
- A replay of any race afterwards, which is far better content than a photo of a mark rounding because something happens in it.
- It is the same picture that runs the race, so nobody has to produce it separately.
Where does the content come from?
- The racing works it out. Best start, fastest boat and most places gained are computed for every race, with the sailor's name and the number.
- That is several posts a week that nobody had to invent or chase.
- No photographer, no RIB, no budget line.
What can we report at the end of a season?
- Entries, fleets, races run, results published, notices and protests.
- These are the numbers a committee or a sponsor asks for, already in one place.
- Nobody has to rebuild the season from a spreadsheet in November.
Do we have to buy hardware?
- Not for the sailors — they use their own phones and join with a code or a QR scan.
- The race committee side needs a small number of Android phones for the base station, the committee boat and the marks.
- There is nothing to hire out, charge overnight or collect back in at the end of a day.
What is planned rather than shipped?
- Live now: the race day data, results, highlights and replays.
- Planned: public share links, viewer numbers, and club branding on shared racing.
- If your season plan depends on any of the planned items, talk to us first rather than assuming a date.
Does it change how our race days run?
- It replaces the paperwork rather than the people. The race committee still makes every call.
- Sign-on, the start sequence, recalls, finishes and results all run through one system in the order a race day already happens.
- The shareable content is a by-product of running the racing properly, not an extra job for somebody.
