Managing sailing crews just got easier – here’s what we’re working on
One of the biggest challenges for sailing enthusiasts is keeping track of crew members. You meet talented sailors, sailing friends, and experienced crew members on different trips, but storing and organizing that information? That’s been a manual process for most sailors.
We’re changing that.
The Problem We’re Solving
Imagine this: You’re planning your next sailing trip and want to bring together your favorite crew from previous adventures. But where do you find their contact information? Their experience level? Their certifications? Most sailors end up with scattered notes, phone contacts, or worse – they just can’t remember who sailed with them last year.
Plus, if you’re the captain or trip organizer, you need to quickly assess who brings what skills to the table.
Introducing Sailor Profiles
We’re building a new Sailor Profiles feature that lets you create a personal database of sailors – your own crew network, right in the mySailing app.
What You Can Do
Create Your Sailor Profile
Store your personal sailor information in one place. Your name, contact details, certifications, maritime experience – everything a crew organizer needs to know about you.
Build Your Crew Database
Save profiles of sailors you’ve worked with – crew members, friends, colleagues. Create a quick reference library of people you trust and want to sail with again.
Manage Important Information
Store maritime documents, certification details, professional qualifications, and personal notes. Keep track of who has what certifications and experience levels.
Add Crew in Seconds
When you’re organizing a trip, simply select a saved sailor from your database and add them directly to your crew. No more typing out contact info or trying to remember their experience level.
Offline Access
Your sailor profiles are always available, even when you don’t have an internet connection. Perfect for remote anchorages or areas with spotty connectivity.
Why This Matters
For trip organizers and captains, this feature saves hours of administrative work. For crew members, it’s a way to build your sailing reputation – keep your profile updated with your latest certifications and experience.
But more than that, it’s about community. It’s about maintaining your network of sailing friends and making it easy to get back on the water together.
Still in Development
We’re actively working on this feature and plan to include it in an upcoming release. We’re focusing on making it intuitive, fast, and useful for real-world sailing scenarios.
