## What is SailingWatch?

SailingWatch is the race companion for sailors — a precise start sequence, a real start line, live tactics, and your whole session on a map. Built for dinghies, keelboats and yachts, on iPhone and Apple Watch.

THE START, NAILED EVERY TIME
• A big, readable countdown with a sweep ring that drains as the gun approaches.
• Sync to the committee boat in one tap, or fine-tune with −1 / +1 minute.
• The final minute turns red so you always know how long you have.
• Start, pause and resume right from the cockpit.

A REAL START LINE
• Ping the pin and the committee-boat ends to set the line.
• See the line bias and your live distance to the line.
• Time your approach instead of guessing.

LIVE TACTICS
• Capture your port and starboard tack angles.
• A compass and layline call tell you if you're lifted, headed, or on the groove.
• Make the smart call on when to tack.

WIND AT A GLANCE
• A 6-hour wind forecast strip for your exact location — speed, direction and gusts.
• Know what's coming before you leave the dock.

EVERY SESSION, ON A MAP
• Automatic GPS recording while you sail — speed, heading and full track.
• Review past sessions grouped by month.
• Replay any track on the map with distance, duration and top speed.

SHARE YOUR SAIL
• Export a standard GPX file.
• Create a video animation of your track to share.
• Send your sessions straight to Strava.

ON YOUR WRIST
• The Apple Watch app puts the timer, start line and live data on your wrist — sail with your phone in your pocket.

MADE YOURS
• Save your boat profile — class, sail number, polar and hull length.
• Choose your units for distance, speed and temperature.
• A clean, high-contrast black-and-blue design that stays readable in bright sun.

Whether you're lining up for the gun on a club Wednesday or training for the season, SailingWatch keeps the start, the line and the tactics one glance away.
