The whole of a sailing day, on one timeline, with the whole team — before dinner.
Video, photos, instrument data, the forecast, sail shape and what the team actually said — joined to the minute they happened, and on every crew member’s phone the moment it is uploaded. Not tomorrow morning, and not once somebody has made a deck about it.
Who it is for
Grand-prix programmes
Olympic and class squads
One product, not two. What changes between an ILCA and a 76-foot maxi is which channels the boat records, and SSA states which of those every number came from — measured, derived, or modelled.
Built so the crew turns up with something to say
The usual debrief is one person presenting and everyone else receiving. That wastes the people who were actually sailing the boat. Everything here follows from wanting the opposite.
Share it, do not gatekeep it
The day reaches every member of the programme, not the analyst’s laptop. One import, everybody sees it.
Nobody waits for the morning
Video and data are on each crew member’s phone as soon as they are uploaded — while the day is still fresh.
Let people do their own digging
The crew get the tools, not a report: tag what you found, check your own leg, bring it to the meeting.
The goal is a debrief where four people have already looked. The trimmer has been through their own leg, the helm has found the two tacks that cost something, and the meeting starts from several opinions rather than one.
Measured, not claimed
Every sailing-analytics tool says it finds the wind from your track. None of them publishes how close it gets. These are SSA’s own numbers, from real seasons.
The last two are the ones that matter. Measured wind recorded alongside the same raw track a tracker-only boat produces is what makes deriving wind from a bare GPS trace checkable rather than a claim — and it is a by-product of serving instrumented boats and dinghies on one platform.
Where SSA is today
You are going to ask, so here it is without the varnish.
- It is in daily use by one grand-prix programme — Northstar, which won the 2026 Maxi World Championship — across two boats and a full season. One programme is still one programme, and we are looking for three more teams for 2027, which is why the founding rates exist.
- Wind from a GPS track is being built now, on the paired data above. We have not published an accuracy figure yet. When we do it will be a number you can hold us to, against the best public benchmark in the field.
- There is no individual-sailor plan and there will not be one this year. SSA is sold to programmes and squads, with everyone on the team included.
- Onboarding is done with you, not by a signup form. That is a deliberate limit on how many teams come aboard at once, and it is why there is no free trial button on this page.
What it costs
Annual, invoiced, everyone on the team included — and every boat in the programme, which is where tools priced per hull charge you twice. A budget holder cannot start an approval without a number, so here are all of them.
Founding rates are half of these for contracts signed before 31 March 2027, held for two years. Full pricing and questions →
If someone on your programme sent you this, they have already done the hard part.
Tell us what you sail and we will show you a real day from a real season — yours, if you can send us a log and a few clips.
