Rowing regattas need fair, repeatable courses set quickly and reset between races without tying up volunteer boats. Sentenal delivers consistent lane and course marks you can reposition on demand — keeping the programme on schedule.
Sentenal makes course setting and adjustments faster, safer, and more flexible. By reducing RIB usage, fuel costs, and volunteer time, it lowers operational demands while delivering more reliable and redundant systems for navigation, power, and communications.
As the only marks on the course, Sentenals provide total consistency. Multiple marks can be repositioned with a course layout — either all at once or individually — quickly and precisely, keeping the course perfectly aligned as conditions change or you move between race distances.
One or two team members deploy the fleet from shore, dock, or launch area. Intuitive assembly means the course is ready in minutes, not hours.
The fleet navigates autonomously from the marina to course position along safe, collision-free paths. No support boat needed to tow marks into place.
Each mark holds station within two metres of target. Build lane layouts and turn points in Layout Mode on the interactive map.
Reposition the full course in under two minutes for the next event — ideal for back-to-back races and changing wind or current conditions.
Reposition the full course in under two minutes — compared with 10–30+ minutes traditionally. Keep the regatta programme on time between heats and finals.
Launch and retrieve with just one or two people. Reduce RIB usage, fuel costs, and the volunteer hours spent chasing buoys between races.
60+ hours runtime on one charge covers full regatta days. Redundant navigation, power, and comms keep the fleet predictable when conditions turn.
In Layout Mode, you build and manage race courses directly on an interactive map. Assign Sentenals to roles and adjust the course variables real time and have full, safe operation of the Sentenals on the course.
The fully modular design allows quick deployment and hassle-free setup from the shore or dock. Stackable units make storage and transport effortless between regatta weekends.
Designed by New Zealanders for the toughest conditions on the water — tough, reliable, and deliberately straightforward. No complex menus. Just robust technology that performs when the race clock is running.
