Sunglasses, cooling towels, reef-safe sunscreen, caps, event merch — yours on the spot.
Your prediction. In chalk. In front of everyone
This is the heart of ONAROLLCLUB.COM. A massive AR display split by race classes — monohulls on one side, multihulls on the other. Step up. Point at the live feed. Make your call: next boat to round the mark, first across the finish line, port or starboard tack at the layline, wind shift in the next ten minutes.
Right calls flash green across the screen. Wrong calls show a friendly red wave. Either way — your name is up there, and the whole Marina Village sees it.
The screen updates live as each race unfolds. The rush at the final approach is chaos — fans sprinting back from the waterfront to add new calls, check old ones, argue with strangers about true wind direction. Debates break out. Friendships are tested. Someone’s dad calls “the big catamaran by three lengths” and a local sailor draws a laughing emoji next to it. This isn’t an app. This is live. This is loud. This is Race Week.
One rule: once the call is locked in, it stays. No take-backs. No rewriting the breeze. If you called a port rounding and the boat goes starboard, that red wave stays forever. Screenshot it. Laugh about it. Try again. Bold calls come with consequences — and that’s the whole point.

Your prediction. Live. On AR screen.
The moment you submit your forecast, it doesn't sit there waiting for the race to end. It goes live. The AR screen inside ONAROLLCLUB.COM pulls every name and every pick from the system and tracks them against the real-time race feed. Your forecast has a heartbeat now.
Here's how it works. You predict "Andoo Comanche — First to Mark 1" on the tablet. You walk inside the tent. The AR screen already has your name up. Minute by minute, tack by tack, your prediction hangs there. If Comanche rounds first, your name glows green. The tent sees it. You see it. Everyone knows you called it.
Get it wrong? Your name flashes red. A small cross appears. Someone in a rival club jacket points at the screen and laughs. You shrug. You grab another tablet. You go again.
Pick your race. Make your prediction
Every race has its questions. Every sailor and fan has an answer.
