Why SailHQ?
Small team, real influence
No layers between you and the product. Everyone has a real say in what gets built and how.
Modern stack
Laravel 12, React 19, Tailwind CSS and Inertia. We choose tools that are easy to test and maintain.
Flexible working
Remote-friendly with flexible hours. We're a small team and we trust people to manage their own time.
How we work
Ship good work
Clean code, sensible testing and thoughtful design. No shortcuts and no over-engineering.
Talk to clubs
Feedback comes from the dinghy park and the race office, not a backlog spreadsheet. Decisions are grounded in real club operations.
Be honest
With clubs, with each other, about what's working and what isn't.
