Your regatta.
In real time.
TRKS lets race committees, sailors and spectators follow every boat, its position, its speed and its heading, from a plain smartphone. No GPS trackers to rent, no infrastructure to install: the crews’ phones are enough.

Replay, compare, understand
Every race can be replayed: speed it up, jump back to a crossing, compare your tacks with the winner’s. Speed and heading charts sit alongside the map, and the layout is yours to compose. It then follows you from race to race.

Race committee
For race committees
Your whole fleet in the browser: who is where, how fast, on what heading. During the race, and afterwards, to replay a heat quietly.
Setup takes a few clicks. TRKS is integrated with Manage2Sail: import the entry list and the SRS ratings come with it. Anyone not on the list joins with the code shown at the briefing.
Real regattas are not simple, and TRKS does not pretend otherwise: heats spread over several days, staggered starts per category, different lap counts per fleet, coastal or windward-leeward courses. Each heat keeps the course it was actually sailed on, and its results are computed against it.
Leaderboard
The leaderboard, live
TRKS detects line and mark passings straight from the GPS tracks and ranks the fleet while the race is still running. Gaps to the leader show to the second.
At this stage the leaderboard is elapsed time only, with no handicap correction. That alone changes the committee’s day: nobody has to wait for the fleet to get back to the harbour to know who leads, and the suspense stays on the water rather than in a spreadsheet.

On board
For sailors
An onboard app that is deliberately simple. You sign in with your Google or Apple account, join the race, and start recording with one gesture. It goes easy on the battery and, during the race, shows your track alongside everyone else’s.
Outside of regattas, the same app records your personal outings: your track, your speeds, your history. Visible to you alone, ready to replay whenever you like.
Spectators
From the shore
Identify the boats, follow their progress and the live leaderboard, with no account and from any browser. A regatta becomes readable for the people watching from the bank.
And every view can be shared: the URL carries the heat, the selected boats and the moment on screen. Send the link and the other person sees exactly what you see.
Pricing
It is free, with no asterisk
TRKS costs nothing. No subscription, no licence, no per-race invoice, no paid option hiding somewhere: GPS tracking, the live leaderboard, replay and the mobile app are all included, for the club and for the crews. Elsewhere on the market, having a regatta tracked routinely costs a few hundred francs per race.
We build TRKS because we sail here, and because a readable regatta is better for everyone. Running a coastal course or an evening series? Write to us: we set your race up with you, Manage2Sail import included, and we help you prepare your Sailing Instructions.
