A complete GPS-driven race platform — lay courses, run countdowns, and let GPS detection do the line-spotting. Sold as an annual add-on to the TallyTracker subscription for clubs and event organisers.
Talk to usSix things race officers spend their day doing, all in one portal.
Tap marks on the map. Place start and finish lines as two-point segments. Use templates for windward-leeward, triangle and trapezoid. Gate marks auto-pair as you place them.
GPS breadcrumbs detect line crossings between actual line endpoints (not just proximity) and mark roundings within tolerance — results updated live on the leaderboard.
Real-time positions, lap progress, speeds and bearing — visible to the race officer, organisers, and (optionally) sailors and spectators.
Synchronized 5-4-1-0 countdowns. Flag changes broadcast to every entered boat's iPhone and Apple Watch. Manual override available for the race officer.
Group races into a series. Drop the worst result, apply Portsmouth Yardstick handicaps, export results to CSV. Standings update as soon as a race finishes.
Replay any finished race with every boat moving across the course. Speed-bar, leg splits, mark crossings and starts laid out alongside. Use it for protests, debriefs, or club socials.
Save your venue's permanent marks once and re-use them every session. Import GPX from your chart plotter. Share your whole library with another race officer via a six-character code.
Hand scoring to anyone, anywhere — they sign in to tallytracker.co.uk/scorer with a code + PIN. Live leaderboard, in-browser result edits, mark splits, and an audit trail of every change.
Sailors file post-race inquiries from the iPhone app — finishing position, OCS, DNF, missed mark. The scorer adjudicates from the web portal in a couple of taps and the sailor's result updates live.
The Race Officer Portal is an annual add-on on top of the standard TallyTracker subscription. Everything else — tally on/off, safety dashboard, beachmaster, spectator following, journeys — works fine without it.

Seven steps the portal walks you through — same order an RO already follows on a clipboard, just done from the phone instead.
Pick the venue, set wind direction and speed, log the day's conditions. Sailors join with the session code and tally on from their phone — they're on the entry list automatically.
Drop the mark positions on the map, or load a preset from your Mark Library. Place the start and finish lines as two-point segments. Auto-calculate line length and orientation against the wind.
The mark layer opens the Mark Laying portal and motors to each planned position — a live bearing and distance guide them onto the exact spot to drop the buoy and confirm it's set. Everyone's course map updates to the real position as each mark goes down.
Synchronised 5-4-1-0 countdown. P-flag, I-flag, U-flag, Black flag — each sets the right penalty window. Sailors and Apple Watch chime through every flag change.
GPS catches every line crossing and mark rounding. Live leaderboard. Auto-flag UFD / BFD / OCS for confirmation. Shorten course (Flag S), change course (Flag C), or general recall in two taps.
Scorer signs in at tallytracker.co.uk/scorer with code + PIN. Edit any result, view splits, replay any race, resolve scoring inquiries. Every change audit-logged.
Provisional → final with one tap. Results post to the Notice Board for sailors and the public. PDF export for the series book. Multi-boat playback ready for the post-race debrief at the bar.
Whether you run one race a week or a full national, the portal scales down as well as it scales up.
Tuesday-evening fleets, Saturday-morning juniors, Sunday cruisers. One race officer, one phone, one tap to set up the next week's course from last week's template.
One-day opens, weekend invitationals, regional qualifiers. Visiting boats join via QR code, full handicap support (PY, IRC TCC, ORC, NHC), CSV export to PCS or Sailwave.
Wednesday-night summer series, winter pursuit league, year-long championship. Drop the worst, drop the worst two, count every race — the standings recompute automatically.
Coach-led training sessions with race-quality data. Per-leg splits, tack and gybe analysis on playback, heart-rate from Apple Watch. Debrief from the same recording everyone sailed on.
Drop us a line — we'll set you up and walk through the first race officer session together.
