It's official: the Detroit Regional Yacht-racing Association (DRYA) will score its entire 2026 racing season with Regatta RC. Saturday races, weekend regattas, multi-day championship events, and the full seasonal series — all managed and scored through a single platform.

This pilot for DRYA was our proving ground, and the 2026 season represents the culmination of almost two years of market research, development, testing, and refinement on real race courses with real competitors. Every boat in the fleet is already loaded. Handicap certificates are imported. Series, regattas, and the season calendar are configured and ready.

What changes for sailors? Results will be available the moment the race committee posts them — no more waiting until the next morning for a PDF email. Every competitor can view standings, corrected times, and throwout calculations from their phone before they've even tied up at the dock. Protests and scoring queries reference the same live data the committee sees, so disputes can be resolved faster.

What changes for the race committee? Finish times can be entered directly into the app from the signal boat or onshore from forms printed right from the Regatta RC app. The system calculates corrected times for PHRF, ORC, or any configured scoring system automatically. Publishing results is a single button click. And because everything is stored in one place, series standings, regatta rankings, and season standings update after every race — no end-of-month spreadsheet gymnastics required.

DRYA is where Regatta RC was born, and it's where we'll continue to push the product forward. Every Wednesday night Club race is a live stress test. Every DRYA weekend regatta surfaces edge cases we haven't considered. We sail, we score, we find problems, and we fix them — often before the next race day. If it works here, it works anywhere.
