Our co-founder Jacob Keilman wrote a pretty nice piece about the history of Race Management. Sailboat racing has a long, rich history, with organized competitions documented at least as far back as the Roman Republic. Throughout most of that history, the technology used to organize competitions has been pretty basic: fixed or floating points to define a course and a means of signaling a starting time, most commonly a flag. Along the way we developed a whole language of flags and added horns and watches, but the basic idea hasn’t changed much. Want to know more about it?

September is shaping up to be an incredibly busy month for Vakaros as we bring RaceSense to nine different regattas, proving that more and more classes are joining the future of on-water management. With nine events in just 30 days, it’s quite a marathon—keeping us on the move more than twice a week. The best part? The variety of classes that will be using RaceSense this month, showing that RaceSense can be used by everybody, at every level, and for every class.

Sailing fans who watched 49ers race on the waters of Marseille this week may notice a trend: tons of general recalls, redress hearings, and an overall messy starting situation. We get it: calling a start line with the best skiff sailors in the sport is impossible for a human. RaceSense is here to help: in mid July, we brought our starting technology to the 49er, 49erFX, and Nacra 17 Junior World Championships in Spain. What came? No general recalls in a single RaceSense race, fairer starts, and the ability to run a new reaching format for Nacra racing.
