Although it’s a chilly winter here on the northern hemisphere and we’re all about staying warm, at Sentinel we keep ourselves busy to give you something worth putting on the heaviest sailing gear and challenge the windy elements! We know you’re used to get more safety features from us, but this one is a bit different. It’s pure — fun!

Traditionally, yacht racing depends on the weather conditions; when a non-windy day is scheduled for the race, we can only hope for a better one soon. Some other day, the conditions are perfect and we just reached our best boat speed ever, but the praise from our own social network is all that our record-breaking sailing achievement can look forward to.

Or at least, so it was. But not any more.

Meet the Sailing Record platform, developed by our partners at Seascape, upgraded with the full Sentinel integration.

Sailing Record is a well designed and easy-to-use platform for uploading our best sailing tracks and comparing ourselves with the performance of others. For start, you can compete in two challenges — the fastest 500 meters sailed and the fastest 1 hour sailed — with more to come. We can now challenge ourselves, our boats and others in the best possible conditions.

With Sailing Record you can now compete in two challenges — the fastest 500 meters sailed and the fastest 1 hour sailed — with more to come.

Although Sailing Record platform accepts GPX files that can be uploaded manually from any type of boats as well as from any type of speed measuring devices (smartphones, GPS instruments like Velocitek…), that would require some additional work.

To make the experience of using the Sailing Record platform as smooth as possible for all the Sentinel users, we’re introducing a full Sailing Record — Sentinel integration. The Boat Monitor and Fleet Monitor users can now upload your tracks to the Sailing Record platform with few simple clicks.
