The easiest way to track sailing standings

Keep your sailing regatta or club series standings organized with Simple Standings. Track cumulative points, races completed, and first-place finishes — then share the results with your fleet. It does more than the table, too: tick Schedule to add games with dates, times, and venues that visitors can filter by team, and Statistics to track events entered, wins, and best results. Enable any combination — all three sit on the same shareable link.

How sailing standings work

Most club racing uses the Low Point System from Appendix A of the Racing Rules of Sailing: a boat scores points equal to its finishing place — 1 for first, 2 for second — and the lowest total wins. A boat that did not start, did not finish or was disqualified scores the number of boats entered in the series plus one.

Longer series allow discards: once enough races have been sailed, each boat’s worst score is excluded. The sailing instructions say how many races it takes to earn a discard.

Handicap fleets correct each boat’s elapsed time with its rating before places are given, so a slow boat sailed well can beat a fast boat sailed badly. The points work the same way after that.

A worked example

Five boats, five races, one discard — discarded scores in brackets:

BoatR1R2R3R4R5TotalNet
Blue Heron132(6) DNF1137
Second Wind21(4)13117
Kestrel(3)2132118
Windfall4(5)3251914
Tern Again(5)45442217

Blue Heron did not finish race 4 and scored 6 — five boats entered, plus one. The discard throws that score out, which is what discards are for.

Blue Heron and Second Wind are tied on 7. Under A8.1, both have kept scores of 1, 1, 2 and 3, so there is no difference. Under A8.2, Blue Heron won the last race and Second Wind was third, so Blue Heron wins the series.

Common sailing tiebreakers

When boats finish level, these are applied in order until the tie is broken:

  1. Best race scores: list each tied boat’s scores from best to worst, discards left out, and the first difference decides it (Rule A8.1).
  2. Last race: if still tied, the better score in the last race, then the race before (Rule A8.2), even if that score was discarded.

How sailing seasons are scheduled

  • Weeknight club series, one or two races an evening, a series every month or two.
  • Regattas over a weekend, several races a day with discards after a set number.
  • Fleets by class or handicap band, each scored separately.

Setting up sailing standings in Simple Standings

Pick Sailing when you create a league and the standings start with PTS, Races, and 1sts. New sailing leagues sort by PTS. Every column can be renamed, removed, or added to. A computed column can read every typed-in column, plus any computed column to its left.

The preset is PTS, Races and 1sts, sorted by points — sort it ascending for low point scoring, so the lowest total leads. Add to totals adds each race’s place to a boat’s points and a 1 to Races.

Discards need a column of their own: type the worst score into a Discard column and make Net a computed PTS − Discard. Ties under A8 are a judgement on the full score list, so settle them and note the result in the league description.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I create sailing standings?
Sign up for a free account, click "Create new", choose your columns (wins, losses, points, etc.), add your boats, and type in the data. No spreadsheets or imports needed.
Can I share my sailing standings with others?
Yes. Every standings you create gets a unique shareable link. Anyone with the link can view the standings — no account required.
Can I make a sailing schedule too?
Yes. Check Schedule when creating and add games with dates, times, venues, and scores. Visitors can filter the schedule by team or venue, so each boat sees only their own games.
Can I track sailing stats?
Yes. Check Statistics when creating and you get a stats table with the columns already prefilled for sailing — events entered, wins, and best results. Add computed columns for anything you work out with a formula, and sort by whichever column matters.
Is Simple Standings free for sailing leagues?
Free — standings, schedule, and statistics with no team limits, no game caps, and a public share link included. Public pages carry ads, which is what pays for it; a one-time $9.99 USD removes them from a league, with no subscription and no renewal.
Do sailing scores automatically update the standings?
Only if you want them to. Typing the table in yourself is the default, and it is what most leagues stick with — no syncing, no broken formulas. You can also enter one game at a time and let it do the arithmetic, report a score and have the standings update themselves, or keep a full box score for each game that updates the standings and every player's totals at once.
