Lifted Sailing
Sailing log & realtime tactics
Free · In‑App Purchases
Nail the start from wrist or phone, read every shift with live lift/header calls, then replay the whole race. For every Apple Watch — Action button on Ultra.
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.
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 with selectable engines, 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
LIFTED PRO
The race timer, recording, start-line tools, and the full post-race replay analysis are free. Lifted Pro — an annual subscription with a one-month free trial — adds the Intelligent wind model while you race: the live lift and header call, learned true wind, and tack targets on the watch face.
YOUR DATA, IN APPLE HEALTH
Races are stored as standard Apple Health workouts on your own devices, and tracks sync from watch to iPhone automatically. Races also back up in the background, so replacing a device doesn't lose them. Signing in is optional.
