Program info

RaceSail is a Windows-based program for scoring sailboat races and regattas. It can be used to score a single race, a series of races in one race class, or an entire regatta. Results can be printed locally, exported to HTML, or published directly to a website. Race classes can be scored by finish position or finish time, and it supports PHRF, Time-on-distance, Time-on-time, ORC Club (formerly Americap), and Portsmouth wind-dependent coefficient handicap systems.

RaceSail is a program for scoring a single race, a series for a single race class or a complete sailboat regatta.
Results can be printed for a single race or for the overall scores in a series. These can be printed for local display, printed to an HTML file or published directly to a web site. Since RaceSail is Windows based, the program can be run on an Apple Mac in emulation mode.
Race classes can be scored by finish position or by finish time. The following handicap systems:
- PHRF, Time-on-distance
- PHRF, Time-on-time
- ORC Club (was Americap)
- Portsmouth wind dependent coefficients
- IRC time multipliers
- PHRF Pursuit
Pursuit is where the boat starting times are adjusted so all boats should finish together if they sail to their handicap!
Results are shown in a list view that can contain an indefinite number of races. Two or more races are summed and the total scores ordered into a final ranking. Ties are broken according to the procedure outlined in the Appendix A of the US Sailing’s “The Racing Rules of Sailing 2004-2008.”

I’ve used Ed Mitchels racesail program for years and would like to use it again but I cannot find the manual. I had it on my desktop years ago but somehow it has disappeared. Does anyone have it and can send to me? More

I've been using Racesail to score our group's races for more than 10 years. It is the easiest and best program for our purposes and has performed flawlessly over the years. It is an open program that everyone can use so each interested member can keep a version to check my work. This transparency is key to our organization's continued success. So happy to find this download provider which has allowed me to successfully move the program to my new Windows 10 computer and will allow the other members to get their updated version. Hats off to Ed Mitchell! More
