Problem
Traditional paper-based sailing logbooks are cumbersome to maintain, difficult to share, and lack the ability to automatically track voyages and generate comprehensive sailing resumes. Sailors need a modern, digital solution to record their experiences, manage qualifications, and connect with the sailing community.
Solution
SailTies provides a mobile application that enables sailors to digitally record and share their boating adventures, qualifications, and trip logs. The app uses GPS tracking to automatically generate route maps, key statistics, and location information for each voyage. Sailors can add photos, videos, and notes to create rich memories of their trips and collaborate with crew members. The platform also automatically generates a sailor CV, allowing users to easily prove their sailing experience and share their achievements with friends and potential employers.
