NORTH SAILS GROUP SUPPORTS YACHT SCORING

North Sails Group is pleased to announce the addition of Yacht Scoring to its family.

Founded in 2016 by Luiz Kahl, Yacht Scoring is an easy-to-use yet powerful web-based race management and scoring tool used by hundreds of yacht clubs and race organizers around the globe. Kahl, who passed away unexpectedly in 2021, was a software developer by trade, a competitive sailboat racer, and a passionate race committee volunteer. This addition to North Sails Group is part of an ongoing mission to support the sport of sailing and increase participation.

Yacht Scoring is a race management and scoring system that simplifies the task of event registration and communications while allowing for complete results in near-real-time. The single online data-based platform streamlines regatta management and eliminates the need to maintain multiple independent spreadsheets for entry lists, scratch sheets, ratings, and competitors’ information. For sailors, Yacht Scoring’s quick and easy sign-in and live scoring program delivers immediate race results, helping sailors know the score before they return to the dock.

“Luiz uniquely blended an innovative business model with an unmatched level of customer support,” comments Ken Read, President of North Sails Group. “It was not uncommon to see him working hand-in-hand with race committees to ensure the success of their event. He didn’t do this because it was a requirement of using his services; Luiz did it because he was committed to helping sailors at all levels of the sport.It is our intention to follow his lead with this same service that he prided himself on.”

“ Yacht Scoring is a tool to help race committees focus on what’s important, letting sailors have fun on the water,” says Gui Kahl, Luiz’s brother. “In just ten years, Luiz grew Yacht Scoring into a must-have regatta management platform used by thousands of sailors. Beyond his business, Luiz was an avid supporter of Warrior Sailing, youth sailing, and Bayview Yacht Club, his home club, which will continue to be supported by Yacht Scoring.” Gui further explains, “The continuation of Yacht Scoring by the North Sails Group preserves Luiz’s legacy and will keep building on his vision of him.”

The ease and accuracy of Yacht Scoring for race committees, sailors and volunteers with regard to all aspects of sailboat racing, from entry to scoring, will remain unchanged. The Kahl family extends their gratitude to Rob Bunn for his dedication and time over the last several months. A personal friend of Luiz’s, Rob was instrumental in keeping Yacht Scoring moving forward and operational for sailing and the sailing community. He will remain as interim manager of Yacht Scoring to ensure a seamless transition with the North Sails Group.

Scoring programs.

The following programs have been evaluated by members of the Race Management Committee and other US Sailing officials.

These programs are listed as a service to members of US Sailing and the sailing community. Programs listed on this site have been tested to ensure that they conform to the scoring requirements of The Racing Rules of Sailing . Each was subject to a one-design low-point scoring test, including Appendix A8.1 and A8.2 tie-breaking.

US Sailing does not specifically endorse any program, but encourages users to consider all aspects of any program – including ease of use, documentation, support (including location of support for timely response), compatibility, and ability to upload and download data for evaluation and distribution – before selecting it for use.

Program authors who are interested in having their programs evaluated and included in this list should contact US Sailing at [email protected] .

Please note that Excel/spreadsheet-based scoring options are not currently being evaluated due to the potential for errors to be introduced through easy-to-make changes.

Scoring Program Reviews are listed in three categories:

• Standalone programs that do not rely on an internet connection.
• Standalone scoring programs that rely on an internet connection for operation.
• Scoring programs that are part of a comprehensive regatta registration and management system. Only the functionality of the scoring program itself has been evaluated.
