About SailrScience
Independent analytics for professional ORC and IRC racing.
Built on a founding observation.
The ORC system produces extraordinary technical data about every rated boat — hull geometry, rig dimensions, stability curves, velocity predictions — but the tools to interpret that data at fleet scale did not exist.
FleetEdge reads the ORC certificate as a design fingerprint, triangulates it with independent physics predictions and empirical race outcomes, and reveals the dimensional structure of the fleet — including the eleven performance archetypes that emerge from the data itself.
Working with Farr Design on the development of SailEdge, it became clear that a Fleet Performance Workbench was needed alongside the per-boat physics — the same hull and sail-plan signal that powered one digital twin could be reasoned about at fleet scale once the cohort context was in place. FleetEdge was developed by applying the same data science and performance analytics from decades of industry experience, following data-science and data-visualization best practices end to end.
SailrScience is based in Annapolis, Maryland — the offshore-racing capital of North America. The company builds FleetEdge and its sibling platform SailEdge, which models hull and sail-plan physics from first principles.
Three perspectives on every fleet.
Fleet Structure
Dimensional fleet breakdowns, archetype distributions, and cross-event comparisons that reveal the hidden composition of any ORC fleet.
Boat-Level Diagnostics
Where one design sits in the fleet's dimensional landscape — hull efficiency, rig performance, stability profile, and crew impact relative to archetype peers.
Crew Attribution
The question FleetEdge exists to answer: given what the certificate says and what the physics predict, what did the crew contribute to the result?
Production-grade infrastructure for production-grade data.
FleetEdge serves the full fleet from AWS — CloudFront edge caching for sub-second response times, API Gateway and Lambda for dynamic analytics, S3 for the complete data layer. Intelligent caching tiers (60-second dynamic, 5-minute boat data, 24-hour static assets) ensure you always see fresh data without waiting for it.
A declarative bundle registry validates every product file at build time — preventing missing-data defects before they reach production. Dual deployment (production and UAT) runs side-by-side from separate branches, with automatic pruning of old build artifacts after every pipeline run.
Two arms. One company.
SailrScience, LLC is the research arm — custodian of the physics engine, the FleetEdge archetype model, and the patent portfolio (provisional filed 2026-03-05, USPTO docket 0325-0001PR). It holds the IP.
SailrScience Technologies, LLC is the business arm — services to naval architecture firms, sail lofts, and racing teams; commercial licensing of SailEdge™ and FleetEdge™; and the partner program.
The public-facing brand is unified: SailrScience. Read the full company story at sailr.science/about.
Built by a sailor who needed it.
Kevin brings decades of commercial software design and data analytics to solving customer experience challenges. Understanding the structure of competitive fleets — and engaging with the naval architects, racing teams, and ORC officials who shape them — was just such an opportunity. He lives aboard in Annapolis and builds SailrScience from the same sailing community he serves. Archetype maps were always his mental model. Now they come to life for every FleetEdge user.
