News, Newsletters & Digital Signage - Club Updates All in One Place
Create news articles, group them into newsletters, send emails from the platform, and optionally cast updates to a TV for easy on-site visibility.
Simple tools that keep your whole club in sync.
Publish Updates Clearly
Create News Posts Members Actually Read
Afloat lets club admins publish news articles with a title, subtitle, text, and an optional links and photos. This works well for race updates, training info, safety notices, and sailing club announcements.
News appears where members already look: on their dashboard and in your news area. That keeps communication consistent, reduces repeated questions, and gives your organisation a clear source of truth for important updates.
Duty planning that saves time for organisers.
Turn Posts into a Newsletter
Gather News Articles and Create a Newsletter Quickly
Instead of writing newsletters from scratch, Afloat lets you gather selected news articles and bundle them together into a newsletter. That keeps your communications consistent and saves time for volunteers, committees, and marina teams.
Because the newsletter is built from the same news content you publish on the platform, you avoid mismatched versions and repeated edits. Members can also follow links back to the full article when needed.
One Workflow for Web, Email, and On-Site Screens
Posting updates in multiple places is where communication breaks down. With Afloat, you create a news article once and reuse it across the platform feed, newsletter emails, and optional TV display. That reduces duplicated effort and keeps information consistent, especially valuable for volunteer-run sailing clubs.
Fast, dependable race admin for clubs of all sizes.
Clubhouse Screens, Made Useful
Cast News Articles to a TV as Rotating Slides
Afloat can cast selected news articles to a compatible TV using Google Cast (Chromecast). Articles rotate like slides, making it ideal for clubhouse announcements, reception screens, results displays, or sponsor/advertisement slides.
Each slide can have its own timeout, so reading-heavy updates stay on screen longer. If an article includes a link, it’s turned into a QR code so viewers can open it on their phone. Once casting starts, the phone does not need to remain connected for the slides to continue.
