The SailingWatch Manifesto - More Than Just an App

SailingWatch didn’t start on a whiteboard. It started on the water.

I was racing, counting down, watching shifts…

and realizing nothing really felt built for the start we care about.

Not practical Not clear Not built with intention

1

For myself at first

2

Then for friends

3

Then for a growing crew of sailors who wanted better tools

SailingWatch is a tool you can trust at the gun.

⌚

Apple Watch first — countdown, set line, distance to line

⚡

Haptics, clarity, and speed when seconds matter

📊

GPS speed & heading on the water; review on iPhone

🎯

Designed to get out of the way — focus on sailing

We’re building this with and for sailors.

🎯

A clean start isn’t luck — it’s focus and timing

🚀

Fast tools, less friction, better decisions

🧠

Sailing’s a mindset — attention, practice, and feel

This app evolves with every start you take.

It’s shaped by those who use it, challenge it, and improve it.

That's what makes this more than an app — it's a community, a movement, a shared vision.

If you're flying the flag, you're part of that story.

Not as a user — as a pioneer.
