A rotation that builds itself
Pick your crew and a pattern, fixed watches or a rolling rotation, and JibTrak fills in the rest, spreading helm, bow, trim and watch leader across every watch.
Features
Everything about when, in one place.
JibTrak isn’t a chartplotter or a weather router. It’s the part of a passage that runs on the clock, and it does that job thoroughly.

What it does
Alerts before you’re needed
A wake-up warning before each watch you’re due on, plus medication, sunscreen, water and meal reminders timed around your watches.
Works with no signal
Everything runs on the phone, with no account. Weather and tide data refresh when you have a connection, and scrambled online records, which nothing depends on, let new crew join and phones keep in step from anywhere.
Everyone sees the plan
Switch on sharing and any crew member on the same WiFi can open the live plan in a web browser, or join the app with a code or QR, from anywhere if the owner has switched on joining from anywhere.
On your wrist
JibTrak’s Garmin watch app: a big countdown to your next handover and an alarm that gets more insistent until you press a button. It shows the handicap ladder and your pings too.
Race-day tools
A start-sequence countdown with beeps and AP postponements, a live handicap ladder, and a scope that draws a rival’s rig at the size it should look.
Sea and sky
Sunrise, sunset, moon and tide times, a weather outlook for your passage, an almanac for locks, sills and bridges, and the planets worth looking for tonight.
Boat and crew, organised
A crew directory, a season calendar with In / Maybe / Out replies, checklists, a snag list, a helm log and a sailing CV for every crew member.
From crew list to countdown in a few taps.
-
Set up the race
Name, date, start time and course. A passage gets a watch rotation; a regatta or day race, where everyone is on deck, doesn’t need one.
-
Pick your crew and a pattern
Tick who’s sailing, choose a watch system such as 4-on/4-off or a rolling rotation, and generate.
-
Sail
Home shows who’s on now, next and later. Everyone gets their own alerts and, if they wear a Garmin, a countdown on the wrist.
-
Change your mind at sea
Swap two people, or log someone as seasick and rebalance from now on, without reshuffling everyone else’s watches.
