What's New in Lifted Sailing
1.3
September 5, 2026
Race links now open in Lifted. SHARE LINKS — Tap a race link in Messages, Mail or Slack and it opens in the app instead of the browser. A link to a race's replay opens straight into the replay. RACES SHARED WITH YOU — A race another sailor has shared opens in the same replay you use for your own: the coloured track, the boat and scrubber, wind, VMG and shifts. It is read-only and stays theirs — it does not join your history. SIGNED OUT — A link tapped before you sign in waits, and opens once you are in.
