## What is SailUp?

The complete sailboat compass, race timer, and team-coaching app for competitive sailors. Built for high school, collegiate, and competitive sailing programs, plus race-day use on bigger boats and any regatta where sail computers and sail compasses are permitted, SailUp combines a precision sailboat compass, a synchronized sailing timer, real-time voice coaching, and full sailing data analytics in one seamless system.

SailUp does both:
• A sailboat training system for high school and collegiate teams turning practice into measurable performance.
• A race-day sail computer for keelboat regattas, big-boat racing, and any event where sail computers and sail compasses are allowed.

SAILING TIMER, RACE CLOCK & COMPASS — ALL IN ONE

• Race Timer — synchronized countdown across coach, sailors and watch, with audible whistle cues
• Start Timer — programmable countdown for every flag in the start sequence
• Distance to Line — mark the pin and the committee boat, then watch the gap close as the clock runs down
• Sailboat Compass — true and magnetic heading with lift and header detection
• Wind Compass — live wind direction over your sailboat compass heading
• Sailboat Speed — GPS speed in knots with 5, 10 and 15-second averages
• Race Clock — precision elapsed time and leg-by-leg splits once the gun goes
• Heel Angle — live heel readout so you see when the sailboat is on rail
• Course Marks — drop GPS pins for the racecourse before the start timer fires
• Life Jacket Mode — lock the screen so a wave cannot tab out your timer or compass

ALWAYS IN REACH
• Full race timer and clock control from Apple Watch or run the entire start sequence on the watch alone, phone left below
• Race clock on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island the moment a sequence starts
• Home Screen widget with countdown, distance to the line, and one-tap PIN, BOAT and CLEAR
• Watch face complication, one tap from the timer

REAL-TIME COACHING
• Live, hands-free voice from coach to sailors
• Immediate corrections during starts, maneuvers, and drills
• Sailors stay focused while the coach directs

PERFORMANCE YOU CAN USE
• Track sailboat speed, heading, and movement
• Analyze tacks, gybes, and acceleration
• Identify inefficiencies in real time

You see it on the timer, on the compass, in the data.

STRUCTURED PRACTICE MODE
• Run repeatable drills off the start timer
• Build consistency across the team

TEAM-BASED SYSTEM
• Organize sailors by team, boat, or lineup
• Coach multiple boats at once
• Centralized fleet-wide communication
• Built for team racing and fleet training

RELIABLE WHEN IT COUNTS
• Runs the whole start sequence without dropping out
• Races save on the boat and sync once you are back in signal
• A race is never discarded before it has left your phone

CONNECTED ON THE WATER
• Sync compass, clock and timer data between coach and sailors in real time
• Connects boat to boat over local Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — no cell signal needed

WHY SAILUP

Whether you are running a high school practice or rounding the windward mark on a 40-footer, the start is everything. Winning comes down to timing, positioning, and execution under pressure. SailUp gives you real-time awareness from the sailboat compass and race timer, immediate feedback, and data-driven improvement.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9 — 2026-08-19

On Your Wrist, On Your Own

NEW

Race without your phone. Switch the watch to Standalone and it runs the whole start sequence on its own — countdown, whistle, haptics, spoken time. The race records on your wrist and lands in your history the next time the phone is near.

Watch face complication. Your sequence, right on the face. Shows your preset when idle, counts down when it matters, and one tap opens the timer.

Lock Screen countdown. The moment a sequence starts it appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, ticking to the second, and clears itself at the gun. Stop it without unlocking.

Home Screen widget. Medium or large. Countdown, distance to the line, and one-tap PIN, BOAT and CLEAR, so you can set the line without opening the app.

The whistle is on the watch. The same tone the phone plays, not a thin substitute for it.

Save to Health, your call. Races write to Health as workouts properly now, and there is a switch in watch settings if you would rather they did not.

FIXED

The app no longer quits when you start the timer. This was the big one, and it turned out to be several separate faults wearing the same coat.

The watch no longer freezes — not when you open it, and not mid-race.

"NO IPHONE" is gone on connections that were working the whole time.

The countdown starts when you press start. It could previously look like it began up to half a minute late.

Phone and watch agree on the clock. The watch used to sit about two seconds behind.

Standalone stays selected instead of springing back to Paired, and watch buttons respond in Paired mode.

Spoken cues say "forty five seconds" rather than "zero forty five".

Your default countdown sticks. Nudging the clock for one race no longer rewrites the preset you saved.

You stay signed in. Your account is no longer forgotten after a session.

Races wait their turn. A race that has not made it off the phone yet is never dropped to make room for a newer one.

### 1.08 — 2026-06-06

Go the Distance

• Long-distance courses — build a course from real government day markers. Tap them on the chart or search by name, set your roundings, and race point-to-point instead of just around the cans.
• Mark-to-mark review — every leg broken out: distance, speed, VMG. See exactly where you gained and where you gave it back.
• Race Days — group a regatta's races into one named day, now synced across your phone, watch, and the web.
• Spoken time over two minutes — early cues just say the time ("five minutes," "three minutes"). The whistle saves itself for the final two minutes, when it actually matters.
• Works offline — courses, race days, and recordings save on the boat and sync the moment you're back in signal.
 • On your wrist — the watch now shows the active course at a glance during the sequence.

### 1.07 — 2026-05-01

1.7 — Sharper Start

- Custom cue speech — 91 seconds is now "one minute thirty-one seconds." Obviously.                                                                    
- Life Jacket Mode actually locks — stray taps go nowhere. Mark buttons still 
work.                                                                         
- Long sessions don't crash anymore — fixed the upload-buffer leak that was killing the app at the start line.
