Flying Start gives your event a live digital presence — real-time results, GPS tracking, spectator maps, and a public event page — without hiring a tech team.
Everything a multi-class event demands, built into one platform.
Your regatta gets a public page at flyingstart.app/events/your-event. Notice board, race schedule, live status, results, and standings — all in one place.
IRC Division 1, 2, 3, one-design classes, cruiser fleets. Each has its own series, schedule, and scoring. All managed in one system.
Spectators see which races are scheduled, starting, live, or finished. Status updates in real-time across every fleet.
Finish capture on iPad, auto-scored, published to your event page. No waiting until the next morning for a noticeboard PDF.
Your event page is where your audience goes. Live tracking gives sponsors real-time presence. GPS maps keep spectators and sponsors engaged throughout the day.
What your regatta looks like with Flying Start.
Spectators follow boats in real-time from the shore, the clubhouse, or their sofa. Your event page at flyingstart.app — link to it from your own site.
Published within minutes of each race finishing. Sailors check standings from the boat park. No crowding around a printed noticeboard.
Updated after every race. Discards applied automatically. Overall series results always current, always accessible.
Race Officer notices, schedule changes, weather updates — all pushed to the event page. No more crowding around a physical noticeboard.
