Boats & Classes

Sailboat Racing tracks the boats and boat classes that race at your club, with dedicated public pages for each.

Boats Directory

The boats page lists all boats that have raced at your club:

/clubs/{slug}/boats

Filterable by year and category. Each boat entry shows the class and sail number.

Individual Boat Page

Each boat has a detail page showing: - Summary - class, sail number, and race count - Sailors - everyone who has helmed or crewed the boat

Classes Directory

The classes page lists all boat classes active at your club:

/clubs/{slug}/classes

Individual Class Page

Each class page shows: - Sailor rankings - competitors ranked within this class - Boats - all boats of this class at your club - Popularity - how often this class races - Handicap numbers - the handicap value this class has on each of your club's handicap lists, with a link back to each list

If a class appears on one of your handicap lists but has never raced at your club, it still gets a class page showing just its handicap numbers (labelled as a handicap reference). This means links from a handicap list always lead somewhere useful rather than to a "not found" page.

How Boats and Classes Are Tracked

Like Sailor Profiles, boat and class data is built automatically from race entries. When you enter a boat class and sail number in a race entry, Sailboat Racing creates the corresponding records. A class page can also be produced purely from a handicap list entry, even before the class has raced.
