From the first membership renewal of the season to the last gun of the championship, Zeil covers the workflows generic software ignores.
Membership management
Every member, dues, and credential in one roster.
Profiles with boat ownership, US Sailing certifications, and membership tier — full, junior, social, crew, racing. Self-service renewals with card and ACH, automated reminders, and lapsed-member workflows.

Fleet & boat scheduling
Club boats and member boats, booked without the clipboard.
A real-time availability calendar for club-owned vessels, plus a member-boat registry with PHRF certificates, sail numbers, and class. Per-vessel maintenance logs keep the fleet sea-ready.

Race series & scoring
Weekly series and season standings that score themselves.
One-design and handicap fleets (PHRF, Portsmouth, ORC), sign-up and scratch sheets, results entry, and season standings — scored to the current Racing Rules of Sailing. Duty rosters assign race officers fairly.
A briefing for every sail, written before you cast off.
Zeil reads the forecast, the boat, the skipper’s qualifications, and your club’s local knowledge, then writes a plain-English briefing for each reservation — conditions, a suggested sail plan, explicit safety notes, and sunset. It regenerates when the forecast shifts.
Personalized per reservation, 24–48h out
Forecast + boat + skipper + local notes
Suggested sail plan, safety notes, sunset time
Regenerates automatically when conditions change
Communications
Reach the right members — not all of them.
Segmented email and push to racing members, cruisers, social members, or flag officers. Automated event reminders, weather alerts, and a club notice board keep the dock in the loop.

Events & regattas
