Sailwave is a popular, fully featured, easy-to-use, multi-lingual, sailing scoring application for Windows – running on Mac and Linux systems using Wine HQ.
Sailwave is a hobby of Colin Jenkins, who supplies it freely to the sailing community in return for donations to the project.
Sailwave is used internationally at all levels of the sport, from club racing to regional and world championships. Flexible publishing tools allow results to be targeted to web browsers, blogs, web-sites, email and sailing news sites like Yachts and Yachting. In the UK you can also use it to send your handicap returns to the RYA instead of work it out on paper.
In addition to the help available on this website, friendly support from the author and hundreds of experienced Sailwave users is available from the Sailwave User Group.
Although primarily used at sailing events, Sailwave is also used for windsurfing, kitestrfing, ice yachting, land yachting, model yachting, archery and even in virtual world events.
