ISORA Launch Crew Manager Safety & COVID Tracking App

8th July 2020

The new ISORA Crew Manager App

A new ISORA app has been developed by the offshore sailing body to register competing crews before each race.

The 2020 ISORA season got underway last Saturday with a 35-mile Viking Marine sponsored coastal race from Dun Laoghaire Harbour and was won by the Royal Irish's WOW (George Sisk) as Afloat reported here.

The 'ISORA Crewmanager App' logs crew names and mobile phone numbers as well as shore contact names and phone numbers.

Skippers are required by ISORA's Sailing Instructions to register all crew using the app that the association says will only be used for:

for safety purposes and in an instance of an emergency.
if required in association with the ISORA COVID Protocol and Contact Tracing

The App is available for Apple and Android phones.
