How It Works

Your data. Our intelligence.

Three steps from the water to the dashboard. No extra hardware required.

Session analytics on mobile
1

Your Session

Record your session using your Garmin, Apple Watch, or any GPS-enabled fitness tracker. As long as it records a track, we can analyse it.

2

The Upload

Once you're back on shore, export your data as a GPX or TCX file. Simply drop the file into the KnotNow Sessions dashboard. Our software immediately begins parsing the GPS pings into sailing metrics. Need help? See our upload guide for Garmin, Apple Watch, and more.

The Diagnosis

Within seconds, your performance report is ready.

The Professional Edge: "KnotNow doesn't just show you where you went; it shows you why you weren't faster. Use the map, VMG, and port vs starboard breakdown to spot patterns—and start fixing the habits you didn't know you had."
