Drift: Current Tracker

Know and keep track of the current trends as you race. Drift measures actual set and drift at your exact location in 30 seconds. No subscription. Own it forever.

Know the current and trends. Win more races.

Drift measures real water current at your exact GPS location — direction in degrees true and speed in knots — in 30 seconds. Not a tide forecast. Not a modeled estimate. The actual current at your boat, right now.

Every racing sailor knows that current is one of the biggest factors on the racecourse. The boat that knows what the current is and what it's doing wins the layline call, starts on the favored end, and rounds the mark first. Until now, getting that number meant guessing from a chart, estimating from a buoy, or just guessing and hoping that you got it.

Drift changes that.

— HOW Drift WORKS —

Drop in any semi-submersible floating object into the water. Tap Mark Start. Watch the current carry it. Move to your marker and tap Mark End. Drift instantly calculates everything you need — direction in degrees true, speed in knots, so you're never left guessing again

When you start measuring the current drift displays the time with a progress bar to let you know when you've been timing long enough

— WHAT MAKES DRIFT DIFFERENT —

All the other apps that give current are estimated based off charts and forecasts, but those can be wildly inaccurate, the current can vary even on a small dinghy race course, and even more when you're talking off shore racing

Drift measures what is actually happening at your exact coordinates. The local bathymetry. Today's exact tidal state. Wind-driven current. Eddy effects near the shore. The number no forecast can give you.
