What's New in 1.4.7 Start countdown: tap the green Race Start button at the signal and film the start. The countdown runs down and the race clock starts on its own at 0, with the start marked exactly on the gun. Long press to choose 5, 4, 3 or 1 minute; tap the orange button to sync to the full minute, hold it to cancel. Race Map controls: a new pencil button opens the drawing tools, and the camera and RC buttons are now at the top. The map is cleaner, with no Controls panel. Better fit on smaller iPhones: the side buttons no longer cover the Courses bar or the timeline.

What's New in 1.4.6 Each course area now keeps its own wind and conditions. New measurements go only to the active course. Start a new course from your last measurement. It's filled in and aligned to that wind automatically. New "Conditions from" option in Edit: go back to an earlier measurement for any course.

What's New in 1.4.5 New Race Start button with a stopwatch on the Entry page: one tap starts the race, another tap stops it. The race time shows while you sail. The Photo/Video button has a new look. Fix: taking a photo or video during a race no longer resets the race start.

Improved: Sign-in simplified to a single Sign in with Apple button — faster, no separate account to create.

Logbook photos and videos now show where they were taken. Open any photo or video and tap the map icon to reveal a compass-locked mini map of your race course, with a pin marking exactly where it was captured — see numbered marks, committee/pin boats, and the start/finish line at a glance.

Fixed a bug where adding a new race course area could place it at an old, incorrect location with wind data from a different day. New courses now start at your current GPS position, facing north, and only pick up wind/current/swell if it was genuinely measured nearby. Sailed-path speed colouring on the Race Map is now much easier to read, with a full blue-to-red scale calibrated to each boat class's real top speed (see Settings > Units for a reference legend). Minor visual fix to the ruler tool icon.

Race Map: Course switching just got easier — a new "Courses" bar at the top lets you see, add, and switch between course areas at a glance, without digging into the bottom panel. Improved iCloud sync reliability, with clearer in-app messages if your data isn't syncing, so it's easier to spot and fix.

What's New (Version 1.4.0) - Race Map courses, pinned drawings, and canvas notes are now tied to the specific day you created them — switch to any day and see exactly what belongs there, without one day's course cluttering another. Today always starts fresh; past days remain visible and reviewable. - Added photo & video capture right from Data Entry — tap Capture to record race conditions, saved straight to your Photos library and marked on your timeline. Tap any photo/video entry in the Logbook to view it in the app. - The Graphs and Race Map calendars now show at a glance which days have recorded data and which have a saved course. A note about your existing courses To make this date-based organization work correctly, we had to fix how the app tracks which day a course belongs to — previously, courses had no date attached at all. As part of this update, any courses you created before today will be re-assigned to the date of this update, since there was no way to recover their original dates. If you had courses spread across several days, they'll now appear together on that one day instead. We're sorry for the inconvenience this causes to anyone with existing course setups — this was a necessary one-time fix to get the dating right going forward. From this update on, every course you create will correctly stay on the exact day you made it.

Today's update brings a minor look update.

Race Start & Finish Tracking Tap the new RACE START button in Start Analysis to log the exact moment your race begins — it turns to RACE STOP so you can mark the finish with one tap too. Every start and finish is saved straight to your Logbook, with support for multiple races in a single day (perfect for regatta days with restarts or several races back to back). See It on Your Timeline Your race starts and finishes now show up as green and red markers right on the time slider in Graphs and Race Map — so you can instantly see exactly which wind, current, and swell data lines up with your actual race window.

Syncing via iCloud — if iCloud is not available, it correctly shows the warning with instructions to fix it.

This update contains bug fixes and stability improvements.
