What's New in Sail Tactician

2.0.0

August 13, 2026

Race sharing & comparison (iPhone): • Share a race with the sailors you raced against, straight from the Logbook. • Compare boat-on-boat: who led at every moment, a scrubable lead chart, the spots where the race changed hands, head-to-head numbers, and a two-boat replay. • Comparisons anchor at the start gun, so you compare the race — not who started recording first. Start analysis: • Your stats now score the race itself — the pre-start no longer pollutes your averages. • A new Start tab breaks down your final approach to the gun. • The pre-start shows dimmed on the map and shaded on the speed chart, and the replay clock counts down to the start. • GPX exports now carry the start gun, and imports bring it back. Introducing Sail Tactician Pro: • The app is free to download and race with: countdown timer, compass, live speed and heading, your first five recorded races with full analysis, tacking drills, and race file import/export. • Pro is a single yearly subscription (first month free) that unlocks unlimited recording, the live tactical suite, every training drill, race sharing and comparison, and your full race history. • Already sailing with us before 2.0? Thank you — everything stays unlocked, free, for a full year from the day you first downloaded the app. Also: • Time to Burn now shows the right sign (positive = time to kill). • Line bias reads correctly on every wind angle. • Best Upwind/Downwind picks the genuinely better tack. • Faster and lighter recording, with less iCloud traffic on long races.Race sharing & comparison (iPhone): • Share a race with the sailors you raced against, straight from the Logbook. • Compare boat-on-boat: who led at every moment, a scrubable lead chart, the spots where the race changed hands, head-to-head numbers, and a two-boat replay. • Comparisons anchor at the start gun, so you compare the race — not who started recording first.
