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

We started the business to provide racing sailors with an innovative 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. Very shortly, the service will also provide high-fidelity race replay and post-race performance analysis.
