Sail Robin, the smart sailing app that plots your course, tracks every sail, replays your performance, gives you the tools to coach yourself better, and connects you with the sailing community.
“It’s like Strava, Instagram and a chart plotter went sailing.”
Whether you’re a round-the-cans racer, an Olympic sailor, or just out for a casual day sail — your community is on Sail Robin. Share your sails, follow fellow sailors, and track each other’s progress with a social feed, likes, comments, and club leaderboards.
Built by a sailor, for sailors. Every feature comes from real experience on the water — whether you’re racing or just out for a sail.
High-accuracy GPS tracking that works with your screen locked. Record any sail — race day or casual cruise. Save your track, review stats, and share with the community.
No more messing with course cards and GPS inputs. Venue databases with fixed marks and preloaded courses, the option to tag inflatable marks and build courses. See bearing, distance and time to your next mark in real time. Solving headaches for round-the-cans sailors worldwide.
Watch your sail back with speed-coloured tracks, animated boat position, and wind overlay. Scrub forwards and backwards to analyse key moments.
Share your sails, follow fellow sailors, and see what’s happening at your club. Likes, comments, and leaderboards to keep things fun.
Configurable race start sequence with start line pinging for live distance-to-line calculations. Nail the start every time.
Check the forecast and tide conditions before you head out. Wind speed, direction, and tidal data for your venue so you can plan your sail.
Set true wind direction for tactical display during navigation. See wind data overlaid on your sail replay for post-race analysis.
Connect a Bluetooth heart rate monitor or upload your watch data. See exactly where on the course you hit max effort, with colour-coded tracks and zone analysis on replay.
Can you beat the Robin? Replay your race against a ghost boat sailed by the Robin. Choose your challenge — Club Champion, National Champion, World Champion, or Olympic Champion. A fun way to benchmark your performance and learn where you can improve.
Deep-dive into your sailing with manoeuvre analysis — tack and gybe profiles, VMG breakdowns, and distance-lost metrics. See how your technique compares and track improvement over time with leaderboards, speed stats, and race-by-race trends.
Bring your data from anywhere. Import Vakaros race data (VKX), Garmin files, or any standard GPX or CSV. Your sailing history, all in one place.
Connect your race to a friend’s to compare performance side by side. Or link two of your own sessions to see how you’re improving against your own benchmarks.
Replay any of your recorded races and go head-to-head with a ghost boat sailed by the Robin. Pick your level — from Club Champion all the way up to Olympic Champion — and see how you stack up. It’s the most fun way to learn where you’re fast, where you’re losing ground, and what to work on next.
Every sail is a chance to learn. Sail Robin breaks down your performance so you can see exactly what’s working and where to focus your training.
Sail Robin is built by an active sailor who got tired of apps that didn’t quite fit how sailors actually use them. Every feature comes from real time on the water — from the frustration of losing GPS during screen lock to wanting to replay a race and understand what happened at every mark rounding.
We’re a small team obsessed with getting the details right. The app is in active development, with new features, venues, and integrations being added all the time.
Available on iOS and Android. Free to download — 30-day full trial, no credit card required.
