For rowing clubs
Rowing runs on early-morning outings, crew sheets pinned to the boathouse door, regatta entries chased by email, and a WhatsApp chat that becomes unreadable by Wednesday. Comnly gives the captain, coaches, and committee a structured way to publish crew lists, take outing availability, coordinate regatta entries, and collect subs and entry fees. Push notifications mean the 5:45am outing cancellation actually reaches the squad before they leave the house.
Real scenarios
Stream too fast, fog on the water, lock closure. Send a critical notice that pushes to the affected squad before dawn and requires acknowledgement, so the captain knows nobody is driving in for nothing.
Target crew sheets and outing notices by squad. The senior men do not need to see novice ergo tests, and the coaches feed stays coach-only without spinning up another chat.
Attach a Stripe payment link to the regatta entry post or the term subs notice. Members pay in two taps and the money lands directly in the club's Stripe account. Comnly takes no commission.
Features you will use
Crew lists, outing changes, regatta call-times, and committee notices land as pushes from the club. The squad opens the app because the signal-to-noise ratio is finally on their side.
Publish the weekend crew list, take availability for outings, and see who is in seat 3 before you get to the boathouse. RSVP totals are clear to the committee; names stay restricted to the organising team.
British Rowing RowSafe updates, capsize drill bookings, navigation rule changes, ergo room rules: mark them critical and members must explicitly acknowledge, with a timestamped audit trail.
Term subs, regatta entry fees, kit orders, club dinner tickets, ergo machine contributions. Payments route directly to the club's connected Stripe account with no Comnly commission.
Land outings, land training, ergo tests, and regattas land on a single calendar with RSVP and reminders. Coaches get realistic numbers before the session.
See which outings are filling, which members are quietly drifting, and which crews are RSVPing but not turning up. Useful evidence for the captain at the end of term.
