Time the start.
Call the shifts.
On the water
From the warning signal to the finish.
Start on the button
A 1–15 minute countdown you start, sync and stop with presses of the Action button. Your eyes stay on the line, not the screen — and nothing depends on hitting a touch target with wet hands.
Ping the line
Ping the pin and the committee boat, then watch your live distance to the line as you set up for the gun.
Instruments, not an app
Course and speed over ground in big numerals, leg-aware VMG, and a rolling deviation ribbon — laid out like a proper instrument, readable at arm's length in spray.
It works out the wind
No masthead gear required. Lifted takes live wind from Apple Weather, then refines true wind direction from how you actually sail — and calls each lift and header as it happens.
Every Apple Watch
The Action button drives it on Ultra. On every other model the same presses live on an on-screen control, with a Double Tap binding — the whole app works on any Apple Watch.
Every race in Apple Health
Each race is saved to Apple Health as a Sailing workout with its GPS route and the wind it recorded. Your data, on your device, under your control.
Afterwards
Then take it apart on the phone.
Every saved race replays on your iPhone: the track coloured by speed, VMG or shift, an animated boat you scrub along it, and course, speed and wind readouts with charts that follow your thumb. Disagree with a call? Swap the wind engine and re-run the analysis over the whole race.
Older races without recorded wind get it filled in from weather history. And if the watch stays home, the iPhone can run a race entirely on its own — the same countdown, line pings and instruments, phone-sized.
Private by design
No account. No analytics. No tracking. No servers, even. Your races stay on your devices — the only thing that ever leaves them is a coordinate sent to Apple Weather to fetch the wind.
