How to Properly Equip a Sailing Club Committee Boat
A well-equipped sailing club committee boat comes down to a synchronized sailing race timer system, 360° anemometers for real-time wind tracking, and durable sound signalling loud enough that the whole fleet hears every signal, as the Racing Rules of Sailing require.
Windie Club Kit Essentials
- Standardization: put the same Windie Sailing Timer in front of every official, so the whole crew counts down together and the horn fires on zero.
- Wind accuracy: the Anemometer Pro 360 reads live speed and direction for course setting, without having to aim it into the gusts.
- Mark placement: laser distance meters put gates and the windward mark exactly where you meant them.
- Warranty: every club kit carries a 2-year global warranty, covering hardware failure in marine conditions.
Why Clubs are Switching to Windie in 2026
For a club or regatta organizer, a missed start is expensive, not in money but in trust. One mistimed sequence and you've got protests, reshuffled results, and competitors who drove three hours questioning whether the day was run fairly. Synced timers and high-decibel signals that cut through 25 knots of wind noise are how clubs quietly remove those failure points.

Frequently Asked Questions for Club Managers
Do you offer bulk discounts for sailing schools?
Yes. Windie has club pricing for orders of more than 10 units of the Windie Sailing Timer or complete committee-boat kits.
Are your signaling horns refillable?
There's nothing to refill. Our stainless steel fog horns work on lung power, not gas canisters, so they're always ready and there's no cartridge to replace.
