Welcome to Demo Yacht Club.

Thank you for visiting DemoYachtClub.com.  This site was designed to demonstrate how easily the Regatta Network event management system can be integrated into a typical yacht club or yacht racing association website while keeping the branding for the club or YRA. 

The calendar of coming events below is dynamically generated as events are created, and the entrant data from registration forms automatically cascades to entrant lists, scoring, fleet splits, etc. 

As a starting point, please examine the Regatta Network system from an entrant's perspective.  Select an event from the list below, and feel free to register, view current entrants, etc. 

Once completed, please use the Regatta Chair link from the top menu to log into the Demo Yacht Club account on Regatta Network with

About This Site

Several clubs have asked for our help with their club or event websites.  From these requests, several common themes emerged:  

  • The ability to easily add, edit or change stories, content and or calendar events.
  • The ability to share the development of new articles, and event reports while avoiding the "webmaster" bottleneck.

To answer these requests, we began researching content management systems.  We finally decided on the Concrete5 CMS system, which we have been testing with our demo and event sites. 

Concrete5 is different from the normal models for CMS software.  For a start, it's not complicated. It's licensed under the GNU/GPL license, easy to install and administer and reliable. It doesn't even require the user or administrator of the system to know HTML to operate it once it's up and running.

Some examples of event sites we've built using this system include: 

www.j22na.com

www.29erworlds.org

www.49ereuropeans.org

www.j22mw.com

www.lasernorthamericans.com

We are currently offering event sites at no charge, through a sister site - Sailspace.net.  We're also finishing up sutomating the site creation through Regatta Network.
