Club settings
Configure your club's timezone, home location, wind unit, and local-knowledge notes.
Your club's settings shape how times, weather, and the Sail Brief work for everyone. Find them under Admin → Settings.
Timezone
Set your club's timezone. Zeil stores all times in UTC behind the scenes but shows them to members in your club's timezone — so reservations, calendars, and briefs all read correctly for where you sail. Getting this right is important: it's what makes "10:00" mean 10:00 at your dock.
Home location
Set your club's home location (coordinates). This is the point Zeil uses to fetch the weather forecast for sails and to feed the Sail Brief. Without a location, forecasts and briefs can't be generated.
Wind unit
Choose how wind is displayed across the club — knots, m/s, or mph. This applies to every member's forecast view.
Local-knowledge notes
These free-text notes capture what's special about sailing your waters — hazards, tides, no-go zones, channel quirks, seasonal considerations. Zeil feeds them into the Sail Brief so the AI advisory reflects local reality, not just a generic forecast. See Tuning the Sail Brief for how to write notes that pay off.
Small settings, big effect
Timezone and home location are the two settings most worth double-checking. A wrong timezone shifts every displayed time; a missing location means no forecast and no Sail Brief.
