First sailing in 2024

After returning from first sailing this season on Baltic Sea and using the app I have several thoughts:

1. Automated capture on specific time is feature I really need. Simply sometimes I forget or (if it is not my watch) I sleep 🙂

2. Yacht description – time to do it with customisable sets of sails.

3. Trip description as a free text, start time, end time, boarding and offboarding ports, crew list.

4. Some hints/help – not everybody knows you can change date/time of event in event details view.

5. Reefing is missing completely on events list 🙁

6. Allow in iPhone/iPad mark if event should be presented in a summary log.

7. Watch-Phone sync works fine.

8. Add symbols to events for summary purpose.

9. When watch starts optionally allow to add information about officer on duty.

10. NMEA over wifi integration for capturing more data from instruments.

And this gives me work for rest of the year, share your feedback and enroll for testing – summary in PDF file is coming here soon.

mySailing – Apple Watch application for sailors

After a few sailing races when I had to update ship’s log I have decided to develop tracker application for events during the watch. It is currently in Beta version, struggling with some icons but more to come.

mySailing should work on any Apple Watch under watchOS 8.7+. It currently allows:

  • Select preferred events to register
  • Course/Speed events
  • Set sails
  • Log state entry
  • Location
  • Engine
  • English/Polish support

More events to come after getting feedback and personal experience during sailing. If you want to join TestFlight please let me know.
