There is just no need for it.
TBH in my class we haven’t even signed on and off after ever race at our nationals for the last few years .


Our club is next to a public hard/slipway, lots of other people just cruising about, and we have just 1 person (RO) in the starting box running the races, so having a clean digital/legible sign on /off is the way to go.. Anyway after lots of chat there is no published app that does this simple job... Wink

Any boats missed at the start can always be noted after lap 1. In general, if I have a sign on sheet, I'll only fill in the race timing sheet at the end of lap one anyway, so that the order will stay roughly similar for ease of use at the finish.

I'm not suggesting this for a 100 boat Nationals off Mounts Bay, but for a 10 to 15 boat fleet at Little Snoring SC where you could (and often will, with the rules ignored) push off from the bank with 30 seconds to go and still make the start line.

We run a largish Regatta with boats coming to the start line from a beach in one direction and a boat park with a slipway in the other, we put a rescue boat by the beach who log numbers and radio the RO and our watch house team record those coming from the boat park.  

The absolute fundamental rule is to have a point in the course where you can record a running order, either by passing through the line, or at a turning mark.

Always finish on a beat, finish on a run at your peril.

If I am OD I run my iPhone in recording mode with a clip on microphone at the start and finish.
Happily living in the past

monday.com offers a simple web form interface onto a 21st century websheet.  It would take me 2 minutes to 'code' it using their non-coding required platform.


you simply need to create a master data table and then you can create a form view which you can either 'share' directly or embed in a website page.


Fields needed:

Name / Class / Sail Number / Number of Crew / Crew Name 2 / Crew Name 3 / ... / Membership Number?


then a Status field: 'sign on' or 'sign off'



Each time someone fills in the webform it adds a new 'pulse' - or entry to table.


The time and date are auto-recorded - you now have potentially live data on who is on and who is back off the water, using sortable columns and filtered by date - easy to see and use.


The system is the easy bit - members adherence to it is another matter entirely.

Thank you very much for the positive reply. The simple webform interface is the way to go..
