New: KnotNow Sessions – Find Your Edge on the Water

We've all had that moment. You come in from a session, buzzing from the wind, and someone asks: "How was it?" You shrug. "Good, I think?" The truth is, you're guessing. Was that your best upwind leg? Are you actually faster on one tack? And what about that VMG – are you really pointing where you think you are?

Until now, answering those questions meant either shelling out for expensive tracking apps or squinting at raw GPX data in a spreadsheet. No longer.

Introducing KnotNow Sessions

We're thrilled to launch KnotNow Sessions – a free tool that turns your GPX file into a clear, visual breakdown of your session. Upload your track, and we'll show you:

  • Pointing Power: See exactly how well you're pointing on each tack. No more wondering if you're sailing high or low – the numbers tell the story.
  • VMG (Velocity Made Good): Your true upwind and downwind performance. Are you maximising your speed toward the mark, or are you sailing fast in the wrong direction?
  • Port vs Starboard: The question every winger secretly wants answered. Are you faster on one tack? Now you'll know.
Are you faster on Port or Starboard? How much progress are you actually making upwind? Stop guessing and start analysing your watersports sessions with KnotNow Sessions.

How It Works

It's simple. Export your session as a GPX file from your watch, phone, or GPS device – Garmin, Apple Watch, Strava, or any app that records your track. Head to KnotNow Sessions, drop your file, and within seconds you'll see your session visualised on a map with colour-coded performance. Tack by tack. Leg by leg.

Why It Matters

Winging is a sport of nuance. A few degrees of pointing can mean the difference between making the mark and tacking twice. Understanding your VMG helps you sail smarter, not just harder. And knowing your stronger tack lets you play to your strengths when it counts.

KnotNow Sessions gives you the data to improve – without the complexity. No PhD in navigation required. Just upload, look, and learn.

Find Your Edge

Whether you're a weekend warrior or a committed foiler, your sessions hold a wealth of information. We built KnotNow Sessions to unlock it. Try it now – and find out what your last session was really telling you.
