Groups FAQ

Groups are communities within MarineVerse representing real-world and virtual sailing clubs, schools, associations, or teams. When you join a group, you connect with other VR sailors from your organisation, compete on club leaderboards, and coordinate sailing or racing together.

Use the search at the top of the Groups page. Search by club name, short name, or city. If your club exists, click through to join. If not, you can create it in 30 seconds.

No! Anyone can create or join a group. You don't need to be the commodore or an official. Think of it as being your club's VR sailing champion. If you sail at a club and use MarineVerse, you belong in that group.

Go to your profile's Sailing Club tab and follow the prompts. You'll need a name and location. The group will be created immediately and you'll be the first member.
