iOS app live · Free for Everyone on the Water

Super-Duper Data for Sailors

KnotNow for iOS & Android is officially live — completely free from day one. No credit cards, no locked features, no trial limits. Pro-level analysis for racers, foilers and windsurfers.

Turn-by-turn tack and gybe analysis with map and manoeuvre stats.

Tack & gybe metrics

Every tack & gybe, unpacked.

Track each turn: 5-second exit speed, recovery rate, and a dedicated smoothness score. See how much distance and VMG you give away in tacks and gybes — not after-the-fact stories.

Speed & kit →

Deep Dive into every manoeuvre: view the same turn from multiple points of view - speed, wind angles, smoothness, ground lost - to determine how dialed your tacks really are.

  • Exit speed & recovery — short-window readouts so you know if the turn finished strong.
  • Smoothness — one score to trend week over week.
  • Distance & VMG cost — quantify what the turn took out of your height or pace.
Turn analysis screen with map, speed scrubber, and tack quality scores.
Drill each manoeuvre with map context and turn-quality metrics.

Full-spectrum speed

Every dimension of fast.

Average speed only tells part of the story.

Interval sprints, distance endurance, and wind-angle analysis — then drill into what changed when you swapped kit or sailed in different conditions.

  • Time & distance splits — track time-based peaks and distance milestones together.
  • Windrose integration — speed shown directly to your bearing and the breeze.
  • Way beyond average speed — deep dives into how kit or conditions change your speed.

Stop Winging it. Master Your Foil Time

Celebrate every minute on foil.

From your first sustained flights to marathon sessions, track total time and distance on foil — and the share of the session spent above the water.

  • Track your time in the air. Watch foiling percentage climb session after session.
  • Port vs starboard. Compare foil times on each tack and dial in your weaker side.
  • Equipment testing. See what moved the needle when you changed stabiliser, wing, or pumping strategy.
Wing foiler on the water — progression and session debrief.

Great for beginners

Own the walk of shame.

You know you had to walk back up the beach, but do you know exactly how far? See your walking distance and time, compare it to last month, and watch those numbers shrink as your skills improve.

Leg analysis →

Progress loves a baseline. Celebrate every session that moves you closer to sustained flight or fewer steps on the shoreline.

  • Seeing exactly how much time and distance you spent walking back to the launch is the ultimate confidence booster. Compare today’s session to last month’s and prove you’re holding your ground better every time you ride.
  • Upwind KPIs — watch angles and VMG creep as fundamentals click.
  • Confidence loop — show up next time knowing what objectively improved.

Race ready? You will be.

When you record your sailing, it’s easy to get lost in the noise — line bias checks, pre-start practice, chats between races, or the slow beat back to shore.

With Races in KnotNow, edit your recorded session just like cropping a video on your phone:

  • Drag the timeline to your exact start and finish times.
  • Trim out breaks and non-racing sections.
  • Hit Apply to break the session down completely — by race or by leg.

Track the season in Race Logbook, with racing and training kept separate. Racing — sorted. Now you’ve just got to get higher up the fleet.

Achievements and logbook highlights.

Long-term progression

Don’t just look at today.

Chart pace, foil time, and milestones across months or seasons — a living logbook for you, your crew, and your coach with evidence always one link away.

Don't miss how you sailed. Stack sessions in the logbook, rank them with leaderboard presets, and let achievements surface the breakthroughs worth repeating.

  • Searchable logbook — every upload in one sortable stream.
  • Leaderboard lenses — overall, upwind, manoeuvres, speed columns on demand.
  • Milestones that stick — foil time PBs, walk-back trends, tactical wins worth sharing.

Ready when you are.
