The thinking behind it

A race day needs people in the right roles.

The sailing calendar is only part of organising a club. Someone must cover the safety boat, members need to know their duties and the committee needs a current member database. We focus SailHQ on that volunteer administration, with sailing-specific duties and boat information alongside membership, communications and events.

A closer look

The organisation behind time on the water.

  1. Build and adjust the duty rota

    Arrange roles such as race officer, safety boat crew, galley and results duties. Qualification-aware assignments help organisers see which members fit a role. Members can request named or open swaps, with approval where configured, while organisers manage exemptions and choose which email reminders go out before duties and events.

  2. Connect members, households and qualifications

    Membership records include categories, subscriptions, renewal reminders and household or junior details. Qualification records and expiry dates give volunteers information to use when organising activities. Members can maintain their own details, with roles and permissions controlling the administration they can access.

  3. Keep the season on a shared calendar

    Race series templates support recurring events without rebuilding each date individually. The calendar can also hold training, socials and work parties. Organisers can mark events cancelled, postponed or complete so members can distinguish the current plan from an old fixture list.

  4. Put boat records and club documents within reach

    Keep boat classes, sail numbers and storage information with the club's records. Documents such as sailing instructions and policies can be made available to the appropriate members. Race scoring remains a separate job: SailHQ does not calculate handicap results or season leaderboards.

In practice

Get the volunteers ready for a race day.

An example of using SailHQ for the organisation around racing.

    Add the race or series dates and the duties needed to run each event.

  2. Fill the roles

    Assign members using qualification information and the club's duty arrangements.

  3. Handle changes

    Review swap requests and update the event when plans change.

Before you get started

A few useful answers.

Does SailHQ calculate race results?

No. Handicap scoring and season leaderboards are not part of the current product. Keep your dedicated scoring tools for that work. SailHQ covers the calendar, people, duties and club administration around it.

Can SailHQ collect membership payments?

It can record membership payment status and track renewals. Live card charging and Direct Debit collection are not built. Clubs should retain their existing payment arrangements rather than assume a payment collection service is included.

Are newsletters and broadcast notifications ready?

The administration screens for newsletters and broadcast push messages are still being built. They should not be treated as available club tools. Visit SailHQ to discuss current access and the specific features your committee needs.
