Sail Scan
AI Powered Sail Shape Analyzer
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Beta now open: AI-powered sail shape analysis from one iPhone photo. Measure camber, draft and mainsail twist, then save and compare scans.
SailScan is currently in beta.
SailScan turns your iPhone into a sail shape analyzer. SailScan's computer vision reads the trim stripes to measure what your eyes can't quantify. Measurements include:
• CAMBER DEPTH — how much shape you're carrying, stripe by stripe
• DRAFT POSITION — where the depth sits, front to back
• TWIST — how the top opens relative to the boom
SailScan works on mainsails and jibs, from small one-design boats to grand prix racers and superyachts. Make real-time adjustments, save your scans, build your library, and start connecting your rig settings to increase speed and progress on the water.
WHY IT MATTERS
Good trimmers develop an eye over decades. SailScan gives you the numbers behind that eye—so you can repeat fast settings, compare tack to tack, and debrief with data instead of memory.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Photograph your sail (main or jib) from below
2. SailScan detects the stripes and calculates shape metrics
3. Review, adjust, and save your scans
4. Compare scans across the day—track every setting change

Ratings & Reviews
• A new home screen: pick Main or Jib, then open the camera or choose a photo.
• Sign in with Face ID or Touch ID (passkeys) instead of typing your password.
• Share your measurements as a CSV spreadsheet, or as a Njord photo package with timestamped overlay images and optional notes. Main and jib readings stay separate.
• Photos and stripe lines stay aligned on rotated scans, and saved scans keep the matching photo and measurements.
• Automatic crash reporting so we can fix problems faster.
• Fixes and stability improvements.
