1.7.3 – Instrument Events

mySailing is coming with small update allowing to capture events directly from Instruments view. What does it mean?

  • First mark one of your trips as default one by swiping it right on view with trips list. And choose orange lightbulb:
Selecting default trip on iPhone by swiping right trip on list of trips
Selecting default trip on AppleWatch by swiping right trip on list of trips

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.

  • Now go to Instruments view:
Instruments view on iPhone showing Default view
Instruments view on Apple Watch
  • On iPhone touch Pin button next to SOG or COG and value will be added to Trip surrounded by green border.
  • On Apple Watch simply tap the view with SOG or COG.

If Settings “Location to all events” is enabled location will be added to the event.

mySailing – Apple Watch application for sailors

After a few sailing races when I had to update ship’s log I have decided to develop tracker application for events during the watch. It is currently in Beta version, struggling with some icons but more to come.

mySailing should work on any Apple Watch under watchOS 8.7+. It currently allows:

  • Select preferred events to register
  • Course/Speed events
  • Set sails
  • Log state entry
  • Location
  • Engine
  • Works with Complication on watch face
  • English/Polish support
  • iPhone version is also available

More events to come after getting feedback and personal experience during sailing. If you want to join TestFlight – follow link for public beta versions.
