YB Races

Track live yacht races with real time maps and stats

YB Races is a specialized companion for anyone who wants to follow offshore and inshore yacht racing in depth, rather than just glancing at finishing results. It brings the familiar Yellowbrick race viewer into your pocket, offering a rich blend of live tracking, data overlays, and race context.

The core experience revolves around an interactive map, where you can follow every yacht in the fleet, zoom in on specific boats, or jump straight to the leaders with a dedicated button. Course information, rhumb line view and wind data help you understand not just who is ahead, but why they are there, giving armchair tacticians plenty to analyze.

Beyond the live view, YB Races shines with its replay feature. You can scrub backwards and forwards through the timeline of a race, reconstructing key moves, breakaways and tactical mistakes. This makes it ideal for debriefing a regatta or simply reliving the drama after the finish.

Leaderboards update alongside the map, with access to detailed yacht and team profiles. Integrated news and social feeds keep you in touch with official updates and on-the-water reports, and customizable email notifications mean you won’t miss a crucial position report or major race milestone.

The interface is generally intuitive, though the density of information can feel a little overwhelming on smaller screens, especially in large fleets. As all data is delivered live over the internet, a stable connection is essential and heavy tracking sessions may impact data usage.

Overall, YB Races is a powerful, well thought-out tool for sailors, race followers and families alike, turning complex yacht races into an engaging, understandable experience.
