About

Pathfinder Sailing was started by two lifelong sailors with a passion for sailboat racing.

We started the business to provide racing sailors with a new way to improve their on-the-water performance using just an iPhone and a network connection to their B&G racing instruments. The Pathfinder app is a simple, user-friendly tool for extending your existing race instruments to enhance your situational awareness about your boat and the race course at race time. Pathfinder also provides high-fidelity race replay and post-race performance analysis.
