Hi Rick,
I created the website just over a year ago. After using other scoring applications I was compelled to design a system with the following concepts in mind:
1) Design the system to be easy to use
2) Make it quick, painless and free to people to sign-up. If its 2 boats racing or 200 boats racing I wanted an easy system for people to track results. Reduce the barrier of entry to get boats out racing
3) Real-time results, accessible through traditional browsers, mobile, tablet, etc.
4) Allow individual sailors access to their results more efficiently, in one central location
Both sailing and software are really passions of mine so I have decided not to charge anything for the use
http://isailrace.com . The only time I charge a fee is when handling online payments for pre-registration if the event organizer chooses to enable this feature. This is only to cover the fees I have to accept credit card/paypal.
As Todd mentioned, I sail F18s up in the Toronto area and we use iSailRace for cat sailing events within the Burlington Beach Catamaran Club, Ontario Catamaran Racing Association (ORCA -
http://orcaevents.org/) and CanF18.
