What it does

A logbook that keeps up with you

GPS journey tracking

Press Start New Journey and NimoSail records your route, distance, time and speed, even with the screen off on Android.

Weather on the water

Every sail gets an automatic weather report: wind, gusts, waves and temperature along your track, even for sails you log afterwards.

Crew, friends and sharing

Add your skipper and crew, then send a sail to friends. They choose whether to add it to their own log.

Photos and short reels

Keep the photos with each sail, browse them in the gallery, and turn a trip into a short reel for WhatsApp or Instagram.

PDF log and sea-time record

Export a sail as a printable PDF, and build a sailing résumé with a GPS sea-time certificate.

Everywhere I've sailed

See every tracked sail replayed together on one map, day and night.

Your fleet

Keep your boats with photos and notes, and see which boat you sailed on each trip.

Noticeboard

Post your next sail or race so friends know what you're planning.

I used Sail la Vie. Where are my sails?

Sail la Vie is now NimoSail. Update the app (or add the new icon on iPhone) and sign in as before. Everything is still there.

Does it work without mobile signal?

Yes. GPS tracking works anywhere you can see the sky, even with no signal. Your sail is saved on your phone and uploads the next time you open the app with a connection. The map background and weather fill in once you’re connected.

Who can see my sails?

Only you, unless you choose Friends for a sail. You can change it any time from the sail’s page. Read the privacy policy.

How do I delete my account?

In the app: Settings › Account › Delete account. No app? Follow the steps on the Delete account page.
