Welcome to Pathfinder Sailing, the essential app for sailboat racing! After working for over a year on our new sailboat racing app, we’re excited to launch it!
Why Pathfinder? We feel there are often gaps between the data on our racing instruments and what sailors want to know on the racecourse, in context, and in real-time to make good decisions.
-
- Professional sailors often use laptop-based software applications like Expedition and Adrena, but recreational sailors rarely use those applications on short race courses. Recreational sailors often want access to the same information in a more accessible format. The Pathfinder iPhone app integrates with your B&G instruments and requires no additional routers or hardware. By using the app, you can improve your starts, sail at a higher level of performance once the race has started, and better understand the wind shifts and effects of tidal currents on your boat.
- The second gap we are addressing is race replay. By storing the detailed metrics from your racing instruments, we provide granular race replay details for your boat and other opted-in boats in your fleet.
- The third gap is providing basic analysis tools to understand where to focus to improve your racing results. We will be adding to these analysis tools over the next few weeks and months.
We hope you’ll try the app and let us know what you think.
