Lifted Sailing

A race-start timer and a tactician — on your wrist and in your pocket.

Lifted turns Apple Watch and iPhone into a dedicated race-start timer and live sailing tactics computer. Run your start without looking away from the line — one press starts and syncs the countdown — race with live speed, course, and wind-shift calls at a glance, and replay every race afterward. You can look around before you sign in — a built-in demo race shows the whole replay. To record and keep your own races, sign in with Apple or an email code: your races are stored in your own Lifted account, so you can get them back on a new phone and analyse them online.

ON THE WATER • One-press start and sync — the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra, an on-screen button on every other Apple Watch, or right on the iPhone race screen • Set your start line by pinging the pin and committee-boat ends • Live GPS readouts: speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) • Lift and header calls — Lifted learns your baseline on each tack and tells you when you're lifted or headed • On-device wind estimation, seeded by real forecast data • Records every race as a Sailing workout, with your GPS track, wind history, and start line

WATCH AND PHONE, ONE RACE Race from the watch alone, the phone alone, or both: start on the watch and the phone mirrors it live. No watch handy? The iPhone app is a complete race timer on its own — and a built-in demo race lets you try the whole flow ashore.

AFTER THE RACE • Interactive replays — an animated boat on your actual track with a time scrubber • Color the track by SOG, VMG, or lift/header to see exactly where the race was won and lost • Tack and gybe detection, with distance lost per maneuver • Scrub-linked charts of speed, heading, VMG, wind direction, and true wind angle • Leg-aware analysis: the race is split into upwind and downwind legs, so VMG means what your tactician means • Inferred wind direction and shift attribution across the whole race — see the shifts you caught and the ones you missed • Share any race as a data package for deeper offline analysis

YOUR RACES, IN YOUR ACCOUNT Every race you record is stored in your own Lifted account and kept on your iPhone as well, so replays open on the water with no signal and a lost or replaced phone doesn't lose a season. Races you sail on the watch reach the iPhone by themselves. Each race is also saved as a standard Apple Health workout on your own device — Lifted asks only for permission to write it, never to read the rest of your Health data.
