tack X Sailing Regatta Timer

An intuitive, easy to use tactical mobile application for sailors by sailors. Built and optimized for iPhone and Apple Watch. Maximum feedback with minimal user input. Easy to use interfaces with highly visible displays.
Distance to line, tactical pre-start data, and a race dial that tracks wind shifts and headers! We are happy to announce that all these features are also available on the Apple Watch.
At tack X, our mission is simple. First, we provide sailors clear and concise data in all conditions. Second, we foster the improvement of sailing skills and a lifetime of learning through technology.
