RailMeets is proud to announce that we have been selected as the official crew and boat finder for the 73rd annual Newport to Ensenada race on April 24-28 2020. This is the 73rd running of the 125 mile classic that starts in Newport Beach California. The Race continues south along the coast to the finish at Ensenada in Baja Mexico.

In the coming days we will be posting more on the race and how to find crew or a boat on all the destination races that we are featuring. For more information about the race or to enter please visit https://nosa.org/

We are based in Chicago and we are proud of our heritage and our city. Our season is short but intense. If you go to the RailMeets home page we feature our city on point. The picture was taken from the vicinity of the Wilson Ave. water intake crib looking southwest. The boats racing are part of the notoriously competitive Chicago Corinthian Yacht Club’s Wednesday Night Series. CCYC is one of the clubs that use RailMeets to help organize their racing. We can help with crew finders, dues collection, rating certificate storage, schedule management and many other tasks to make your clubs racing better. Drop us an email and let us know how we can help your club.

We have big plans for the future of RailMeets and we will be making announcements throughout the year.  Setting us up for greatness required a new home page.  Visit us at https://www.railmeets.com/ and check it out.  Clicking on the “Get Started” button will take you directly to the log in page.  We hope you like it!

Next week is our 2018 season kick off.  But you say it’s only January and in much of the country its freezing outside.  Well this week is also the start of the Chicago Strictly Sail and boat and RV show.  As we all know winter boat shows are a great time to get caught up with your summer friends and Meet some new people that you might be hanging out with on the Rail with this summer.  We will be having quite a few announcements next week and I encourage you to keep an eye on our blog and Facebook page.  Oh and by the way I gave you a hint in the text above…

This past Wednesday we held our first Focus Group and User Meeting at Chicago Corinthian Yacht Club.  We invited our top users and boats for some pizza and beer in exchange for their opinions, suggestions and experiences.  Marco gave a demonstration of some of the upcoming features including the new crew and boat finders.  A good time was had by all.  We are going to do these every so often to get you, the users opinion on RosterMonsters.com.  Look for the next one sometime in the spring
