What's New in Lifted Sailing
1.10
October 17, 2026
• A new iPhone racing screen built around a wind dial, with the clock and wind on one line and bigger numbers. • Crop a race to the part you sailed. The full recording is kept, so you can restore it at any time. • Give your crew names on your iPhone. They stay on this phone. • Turn the replay map to suit you, and find race actions in the new "…" menu. • Apple Watch: a redesigned settings sheet, a guided tour and a demo race, an optional Water Lock when the line is set or the countdown starts, and a "Finished?" prompt when you sail back past the start. • Fixes: Home no longer gets stuck on "Loading races", cropped races show cropped on Home, and the watch keeps GPS ready before the start.
