Frequently Asked Questions
What is SailTies?
SailTies is the modern version of a sailor's paper logbook. We are the only platform where you can capture all your voyages and sailing qualifications, to create a full sailor CV! As well as a CV, you can create rich memories of voyages by adding photos and logs to the map and even collaborate with the other crew aboard.
How do I add my past history to SailTies to create a CV?
There are 4 ways to add sailing to your SailTies profile. Recording via GPS in the app, importing a GPX file, drawing manually on a map, and filling out a form (which can also be used for bulk entries). Your stats are generated automatically from these voyages and added to your Sailor CV!
Who can see my sailing on SailTies?
Privacy is very important to us. Every crew member can choose their own privacy on a voyage. If you want to remain private - that is totally fine. When you add certificates to your profile, only you can see the certificate photo and the certificate number.
Does SailTies use a lot of battery?
Nope! We have optimised the GPS tracking feature to use minimal battery usage. Sailors have recorded ocean crossings without reporting any problems. However, it obviously uses more battery than if you weren't recording. The best advice is to keep the phone locked when underway, as it is the screen that uses the most battery.
I already use another app to record my sailing, will SailTies work with it?
You can import GPX files from other apps, such as Navionics, to your SailTies logbook. We recommend only having one app open at a time that is actively recording a GPS track.
How much does SailTies cost?
SailTies is completely free! SailTies Plus is an optional subscription to get even more value from your voyages, including automatic weather data, voyage collections and adding videos to voyages.
Who makes SailTies?
SailTies is created by two UK sailors, Chris and Tom. We are a designer and developer, who previously worked at companies Facebook and Cookpad, but our passion for sailing led to us creating SailTies. We are a small, lean team and we are working tirelessly to make the best app for sailors.
