mySailing – mobile application for sailors
Your friend on deck while sailing and docking
New versions of application
Small but expected update by some users. Finally you can mark some events in Events Types tree as favorite for quick access.
Then using dashboard button on Trips List view you can quickly add events to Current Trip.
In this version also you can double tap icon on bottom table bar to return to previous view in this tab. And fixes of course 🙂
We’ve shipped a significant update with new tools to simplify crew management and keep your sailing data safe. Here’s what’s new.
The biggest addition in 1.5.0 is the ability to create permanent sailor profiles. Instead of re-entering crew information for every trip, you can now save sailor details once and reuse them across trips
When you add a crew member, you can link them to a saved sailor profile. The app remembers your regular crew and makes suggestions, so onboarding becomes a one-click process.
What you can do:
Your crew database is important. Version 1.5.0 adds automatic backup to Google Drive, so your sailor profiles and user data stay protected.
With one tap, you can back up all your data. If you switch devices or need to restore information, it’s just a click away. The app handles version conflicts automatically, and you can restore to any backup point.
Features:
Need to share a crew member’s information with another skipper? Generate a QR code from any sailor profile. Other users scan it and instantly import the sailor to their app.
This is useful for:
When you change a crew member’s joining or leaving date, the app now automatically calculates and suggests the trip duration. No more manual math – just adjust the dates and let the system do the work.
We’ve polished dark mode throughout the app. Sailor profile cards, crew information cards, and stat displays now render properly in low-light conditions. Dark mode is now fully consistent across all crew management features.
mySailing Trips 1.5.0 is available on:

Happy sailing!
In case you missed it – 1.2.1 is live
Version 1.2.1 is out and still warm. Go and get mySailing Trips with some nice updates for Android and iPhone:
Trip Certificates are now going through AppStore approval and should be ready for download next week. There are some nice changes both in UI (it still needs a hug and some improvements as functions are evolving).
First of all both Trip and Crew member information stores some extra fields like list of visited ports, time sailing, mooring time etc. These fields can be collapsed so look for a header and touch it. On Trip this is in Edit section so swipe trip left to get there.
There are two ways to easy move Trip data to Crew members: Either use Sync on Crew list view or get sync individually on each Crew member card.
After syncing information you can change it of course as someone could join later or in different port.
Another change on Trip is that Captain is picked from Crew List. If you edit Trip and click icon next to Captain name you get to Crew list view with option to create new Crew Member. Small warning: person chosen as Captain does not get automatically role of Captain on Crew view. Yet.
And finally Captain can update Crew members with opinion which is expected by some yachting associations on Trip certificates.
And finally key element of release 1.8! Generate PDF trip summary for Crew member. It can be then sent, printed (for signing by captain) – whatever you want. During first run Templates for documents will be downloaded from the cloud. If for some reasons they are not there open Settings and About view to refetch them. In future there will be separate section for managing the templates. If you want to have your template – for club, association or other – let me know and we will think about it. Today there is a mySailing template in Polish and English.
I hope you will find it interesting.
When applying for new sailing certificates often we must collect confirmation of trips and passages. Such confirmation is signed by skipper or shipowner and must be presented to certification organisation like PYA or RYA during exam.
Usually such confirmation presents information about time spent under sails, on engine, tidal waters, conditions etc.
New version allows to collect most of necessary data under the Trip and then share it with all Crew members. Crew member can also received individual opinion from skipper. All data can be then presented using some templates – during testing there is PYA template available.
Check for beta version and new release soon!
mySailing is coming with small update allowing to capture events directly from Instruments view. What does it mean?
Default trip on list of trips is decorated with green frame while all other trips have blue border. Default trip is also visible on main menu on AppleWatch as a shortcut for adding evens and on top of Instruments view. We can also call it Active trip.
If Settings “Location to all events” is enabled location will be added to the event.
Version 1.7.2 will received several fixes and improvements. Most important will be Anchor Alert usable on iPhone and AppleWatch (due to battery life maybe stick to phone).
You can also Trip over AirDrop or Messages
