This year’s Sail Port Stephens Off the Beach regatta attracted more than 80 boats. The first day of the event wast run in perfect conditions with a solid 10 to 15 knots of breeze in the bay. The second day of the event saw variable conditions that challenged some sailors.
The event was made safer through the use of Inosscan for sailor Sign on and Sign off. Inosscan scanning stations were provided for sailors to scan their wristband tags before they entered the water and then again upon exit from the water.
The sailors were issued with an Inosscan silicon wristband tag when they registered for the event. They scanned their tag at that time to confirm their registration.
Sign on and sign off was performed using a combination of:
- Bench mounted Inosscan scanning stations
- Wall mounted Inosscan scanning stations
- Hand held devices
Sailors were very happy with how easy the sign on and sign off process was with Inosscan.
Very few sailors forgot to sign off and were send an SMS link so they could comply with the Sailing Instructions.
A video was created to explain the Registration process. Very few people found the need to view the video as the registration process was quick and easy.
