Feature

Sailing session analysis you can read in fifteen seconds.

Upload a GPX, FIT, KML, or TCX file and TillerWise turns the track into a session summary: a map with replay, time and distance, average and top speed, tacks and gybes counted separately, and the wind on the day. Then it sits alongside the sailors you race against, if you choose to share it.

What the summary shows

  • A map of the track, with replay.
  • Time on the water and distance sailed.
  • Average speed and top speed.
  • Tack count and gybe count, reported separately.
  • The wind and conditions on the day.
  • The venue, detected from the track, and the boat class.

Upload without cleanup

Bring files straight from your watch, tracker, or export tool. No spreadsheet work, no manual trimming, no location to type in.

Numbers that come with a reading

Every headline figure carries a plain-language line saying what it means, so the summary is useful whether or not you speak in polars.

Comparable by design

Boat class and venue travel with the session, so a summary can be put next to another sailor’s without the comparison being nonsense.

From GPS file to session summary

A sailing GPS file is a list of positions and times. TillerWise reads it, works out where you were sailing and matches it to a venue, counts the tacks and the gybes, pulls the weather for that time and place, and writes the result as a summary rather than a wall of charts.

01

Read the summary

Open the session and the whole thing is on one screen: where you sailed, how long, how far, how fast, how many tacks and gybes, and what the breeze was doing.

02

Choose who sees it

Nothing is shared until you say so. Set visibility per session — private, followers, groups, or venue — and change your mind whenever you like.

03

See where it places you

A shared session appears in your followers’ feed and can place on the leaderboards at your venue and in your groups, filtered to your boat class and period.

A summary is worth more next to someone else’s

The same session means more when you can put it beside the people you actually sail against. Share a session and it reaches your followers, your groups, and the standings at your venue — and you can set two sessions from the same venue side by side to see how the day went for each of you.

If you already record on Strava, eligible sailing activities can come across without another export. See how Strava sailing import works.

Figures you can stand behind

Consumer GPS produces the occasional impossible number: a multipath spike near a shoreline, a dropout, a single sample that says you hit 40 knots in a dinghy. Figures that fail a boat-class plausibility check are kept off the leaderboards, so a standing is not won by a glitch.

Your own session keeps the full record either way, and the venue on it can be corrected if the automatic match picked the wrong stretch of water. If a figure still looks wrong to you or to someone else, support is the route to have it looked at.
