For sailing clubs and Race Committees

## From the First Warning Signal to the Last Finish

SailAlign connects the people, positions and decisions that shape a race. The synchronized Master Clock gives the fleet one timing reference, while confirmed start-line coordinates, official race signals and Notice Board messages keep competitors informed.

### Communicate Race Signals

Raise postponement, recall, preparatory and course signals from the race screen. Connected users see active flags without refreshing, and subscribers can receive push updates.

### Review Automatic Timing

Use phone-based fleet tracking to create possible OCS, gate and finish crossing records. The RC reviews the supporting GPS evidence before approving an official result.

### Confirm the Start Line

Capture port and starboard marks, adjust them on the map, reuse a previous line, or confirm a Course Editor line before broadcasting it to competitors.

## Trusted by Sailors Worldwide

★★★★★

"This app is amazing. I had been clumsily tracking my mainly open water dinghy sails on my Apple Watch with outdoor rowing workouts. A four-hour sail was quite a drain on my watch battery. This app changed all that. Today I was on the Santa Monica Bay for a few hours and am blown away by the results. Tracks my top speed, route, etc and a replay it at various speeds. Got my crew friend to download it too. Great app. Thank you!! I also love that I can have multiple boats. It was great to associate today’s sail to one in my fleet. Thistle, quest, laser, C22, C25, Open 5.70 and J22."

### What is SailAlign?

SailAlign is an all-in-one sailing app for regatta management, synchronized start timing, GPS route tracking with replay, marine forecasts, NavTex/MSI safety updates, and a structured digital logbook. Manage vessels and licenses, collaborate with your crew, and export a professional Sailing CV from your sailing history.

### Does it work offline?

Yes. Your digital logbook, vessels, checklists, and offline safety guides remain available without internet. Live features like marine forecasts, NavTex/MSI updates, and some sharing/sync functions require a connection.

### How does race broadcasting work?

Race organizers can broadcast a synchronized start countdown and the start line to participating boats in the same event. This keeps the fleet aligned on timing and start line data and supports live coordination during regattas.

### How does the Marine Forecast work?

The Marine Forecast module shows wind, gust, and wave forecasts on an interactive map with a time slider. You can browse upcoming hours or days, recenter the view, and refresh data when online.

### Is my data secure?

SailAlign is designed with privacy in mind. Your personal records, vessels, and documents stay private, and anything you share is only visible to the crew members you choose.

### Does SailAlign include NavTex warnings?

Yes. SailAlign shows official NavTex and MSI maritime safety bulletins on a global map with filtering by region and category. Previously viewed messages remain available for offline access.
