RegattaLog™ Course Maker | RegattaLog

Design Your Courses

Define your courses on an integrated nautical chart. Use pre-existing or specially-added marks. Specify rounding order and direction, gates, and offsets.

The chart lets you visualize the course and quickly spot dangerous buttonhooks or other problems. Set the wind direction, or use the forecast, to identify how much of the course is upwind, downwind, or just a reach.
Analyze Courses for Predicted Conditions

Graphical tactical analysis redout allows quick course selection.
On race day, see the average forecast wind speeds and direction. VPP data lets you predict each boat's time on course.
Publish

When you've completed your work, a clean final page provides word-processor-ready drop-in tables of mark definitions and courses.

You can direct participants to the final output page for their reference or embed a live course display panel in your website.
Race Day Decisions

Model each division's expected performance on every course in the regatta using live-forecast wind and currents.

Boat and wind speeds are adjusted for current for those racing where it's relevant.

RegattaLog Course Maker turns race course planning and selection from educated guesswork into hard data. Race organizers build courses on a real chart, with forecast wind strengths and currents automatically entered or manually set.

The app predicts elapsed times for every boat using actual ORC/ORR certificates, PHRF ratings, or generic polars. These are cross-referenced against live wind and current forecasts as the race approaches so you are working with a real-time tool.

Initial focus is Northern California, but the app can be applied anywhere in the world. Contact the developer at admin@regattalog.com if you are interested in participating in the current beta version.
