About SailrScience

Independent analytics for professional ORC and IRC racing.

Kinship

Every fleet has a fingerprint.

Built for the global offshore community — find the waters we serve.

 Hidden Shape

52 dimensions reduced to 31 features and 11 archetypes.

The Company

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.

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.

The Platform

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?

Stack & Infrastructure

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 artefacts after every pipeline run.

Leadership

Who builds FleetEdge.

Kevin Farley

Principal — FleetEdge programme

Naval architect and offshore-racing analyst. Principal of the SailrScience FleetEdge programme — the ORC and IRC cross-handicap analytics platform. Based in Annapolis, Maryland.

Rate the boat fairly, and the difference is the crew. That is the ORC founding promise. FleetEdge measures each of the 52 design-and-performance dimensions, reduces them to 31 analytical features across 9 families — crew being one of them — and produces a complete performance analytics workbench for ORC and IRC professionals, institutions, and specialist media.
