Regatta results, collected and checked
Mainsheet now collects regatta results from Sailwave and sailingresults.net, re-scores every series, and keeps them alongside the event's photos.
Results are published in a dozen different formats, on club websites that are rebuilt or vanish after a few seasons. We've started collecting them, so a regatta's results sit next to its photos and don't disappear.
Two sources to start
- Sailwave, the scoring program most clubs use, from its published results pages.
- sailingresults.net, including its older page formats, so we can bring in championships going back to 2015.
Checked, not just copied
We don't simply copy the published table. Mainsheet re-scores every series itself, applying discards, tie-breaks and penalty codes, then compares every total and placing against the published page. If anything disagrees, a person reviews it before it's published.
This is the foundation for something sailors have asked for since the start: a record of every regatta you've sailed, in one place.
