Sailing Tracker App
Analyse every tack. Replay every race.
Watersports Tracker gives you tack-by-tack breakdowns, full GPS routes, and speed data for every time you're on the water.
“Reliable, powerful and easy to use”
|iPhone + Apple Watch + Android
Post-race debrief without data is just storytelling.
You tacked 47 times but can't remember which layline you overshot. Your crew says you were fast on the reaches — but how fast? Whether you're racing dinghies or cruising yachts, the details of a sail disappear the moment you step ashore. You need a record.
The sailing tracker app built for riders
Not a generic fitness tracker with a water icon. Features designed for how sailing actually works.
Tack-by-tack breakdown
Every tack and gybe is identified on the map with speed, distance, and angle data for each leg. Compare upwind vs. downwind performance at a glance.
Full route replay in 3D
Replay your sail on a 3D map. See your course, your tacking angles, and where you made up or lost ground. Great for post-race analysis.
Speed data that tells the story
Max speed, average speed, and speed per leg. See exactly when you were at your fastest and what conditions produced your best VMG.
Session notes for the logbook
Add wind conditions, crew notes, and personal observations to each session. Build a digital logbook you can search and reference.
Stats you'll track every session
Everything recorded automatically. Just hit start and focus on the water.
