Sailing weather, racing and logs in one app. Check the wind before you go, plan the route, record every sail, and see how it went: tacks, polars, the fleet and the race. WIND, TIDE AND CURRENT Live readings from nearby stations and buoys on a map, with every forecast model side by side. The model closest to recent readings is marked, so you know which one to lean on today. Tidal currents through the passes, tide heights, and an hour-by-hour table for any spot. PLAN AND FOLLOW A ROUTE Plan a route on the map and see how long it takes under sail, from your boat's polar and the forecast, or under motor. The tacks are drawn in colour, and the route steers around land and shallows. Saved routes are shared with your boat and crew and work offline, and Onboard follows one with off-course cues. RECORD EVERY SAIL Record with your iPhone's GPS, or connect to your boat's instruments over its Wi-Fi for wind, boat speed and depth. A laptop or a small boat computer aboard can record every sail on its own. SEE HOW IT WENT Each sail on the chart and the log strip: speed, wind, tacks and gybes, against your boat's polar. Telltale points out what stood out, and your season adds up sail by sail. RACING Find races and regattas near you with entries, courses and notices. After the gun, replay the race with the fleet around you from AIS, and see where you gained and lost. ON YOUR WRIST Apple Watch shows live wind, boat speed and depth, runs your start timer, and records your heart rate beside the wind. YOUR SAILS STAY YOURS Sessions are private by default, your home berth is hidden from anyone outside your crew, and your heart rate stays private unless you share it. Download recordings as GPX, FIT or CSV. A free account supports two boats. Boat instrument readings need compatible equipment. Telltale is not a navigation aid. ## Is Telltale safe?

Now I have confidence in how forecasts will evolve throughout the day given the live conditions. The onboard features including Apple Watch and Garmin support are great. We’ve found the performance analysis tools to fun and useful for sailing faster! It’s so cool to be able to share our position/instruments along with the AIS data covering our rivals LIVE as we’re sailing so our friends and family can follow along in real time. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2026-10-07* This is exactly the all in one type app I’ve been looking for when sailing. It’s awesome! ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.2.4 — 2026-10-18 Your Garmin and Apple Watch now steer you to the boat's target angle and next waypoint. The wind map picks the most accurate model in each area and says which one. Route planning is easier to adjust, and finer currents in the Salish Sea follow the chart's narrow passes. A redesigned session view puts playback on the title line, with glass controls and clearer axis labels. A setting for how strongly wind and currents flow, and switches that match the glass look. Country and island names, search for countries and seas, a softer coastline, Hawaii ocean buoys and a bigger race catalog. Many fixes. ### 1.2.3 — 2026-10-15 Smoother maps: panning and zooming stay fluid on phones, and forecasts recover after a dropped connection. Routes now count the time each tack or gybe costs, so beats and runs use fewer, longer boards. Current and waves show worldwide, and more wind readings fill the map where there's room. Wind and currents flow like our reels, routes start at the nearest deep water, race pages show elapsed and corrected times, and tapping a spot gives Route here and Tide. Plus many fixes. ### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-13 Make your account in the app: enter your email, type the 6-digit code (iPhone fills it in from Mail), and you're in. Find your boat by name or sail number to join her crew, or add a new one. Links in our emails now open the app. Plus a smoother map, clearer station readings, and fixes. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-12 Plan a route on the map: times under sail from your boat's polar and the forecast, and under motor, with the tacks in colour, the forecast spread and a speed plot. It routes around land and shallows. Saved routes reach your boat and crew and work offline, and Onboard follows one with off-course cues and arrival. Onboard is now cards you swipe: instruments, timer, route and recorded. Stopping a sail asks for a name, then Keep or Discard. The start timer resets while paused, a boat's recorders share one device list, the map pans and follows the boat more smoothly, and boat icons have a straight stern. And many fixes. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-07 Glass throughout, sign-in included, with a frosted tab bar. The iPad top bar is fixed, About the chart is shorter, the map shows more stations and the model tiles hold steady. Race info opens as a drawer, sessions open at the start with a cleaner player, and the Garmin start timer can be set from the watch. ## Related topics [gps coordinates sailing](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/gps-coordinates-sailing) · [tack x sailing regatta timer](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/tack-x-sailing-regatta-timer) · [thalassophobia](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/thalassophobia) · [wind sailing](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/wind-sailing) · [garmin navionics boating](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/garmin-navionics-boating) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
