Sailing clubs run on volunteer time — and most of it disappears into spreadsheets, email chains, and Facebook groups. Zeil is the sailing-first club operating system built for US yacht clubs and sailing centers: membership, boat scheduling with eligibility checks, and club-wide announcements with a weekly email digest in one mobile-native platform. Before every sail, Zeil reads the forecast, the boat, and the skipper’s qualifications and writes an AI Sail Brief — a plain-English briefing no other platform offers. Switching is safe: a 60-day full-featured trial, no credit card, and free white-glove migration of members and boats. Race scoring is on the roadmap, with no date. It has not shipped.
