Abstract
The development and increasing accessibility of new technologies has brought changes to the management of sailing regattas. Organisational and promotional difficulties faced by the organisers are now being tackled with software-based systems. This article considers various information technology (IT) systems, designed to support the organisation and presentation of sailing regattas and explores how they are perceived by regatta organisers and participants. Case studies of two regattas have been conducted and survey results are presented. The research proved that new technologies have already been adopted by sailing spectators and sailors themselves. The author identifies the barriers and benefits, as perceived by event organisers, of using geolocation technologies at regattas. In addition, the preferred presentation tools to be provided at events are described. The research establishes that use of of interactive presentation systems results in an increase in sailing spectators’ activity.
