From New Sailor to Confident Racer. How One Sailor Uses SailTies to Track Miles, Progress, and Memories
  • Sailor: Jasmin Fragias
  • Region: Sydney, NSW, Australia
  • Sailing Frequency: At least weekly
  • Favourite SailTies Feature: “It’s like my sailing Instagram, but so much more.”
  • Plan: SailTies Plus (Voyage recording & advanced stats)

Jasmin started sailing only a few years ago, but like so many new sailors, the sport quickly became her passion. Twilights, coastal hops, long passages, anything that got her on the water became part of her lifestyle.

What she didn’t have was a simple way to track her nautical miles, log her development, and keep a living record of all the places she’d sailed.

That changed when she found SailTies.

“I wanted an easy way to track nautical miles. Now SailTies is like my sailing Instagram, but so much more.”

Using SailTies to Capture Her Biggest Adventure Yet

One of the voyages Jasmin is preparing to publish is a standout: Sydney, NSW → Rainbow Beach, QLD

A classic Australian coastal journey full of headlands, unpredictable wind shifts, and the kind of bluewater moments you never forget.

SailTies allowed her to record the full experience, distance, conditions, and preserve the story behind the miles. Even before posting it, the log has become a memory anchor she returns to.

From Race Analysis to Personal Sailing Diary

For Jasmin, SailTies isn’t just a tracker, it’s a training tool.

How she uses it:

  • Analysing tacks
    Reviewing angles, speed, and manoeuvres to build better racing instincts.
  • Studying patterns
    Looking at what worked on different legs and what could be refined.
  • Building confidence
    Seeing progression over time, both in miles and skill.

And on a personal note? It has become her unique sailing diary.

“It’s like a personal sailing diary, but so much more.”

Photos, crew, notes, achievements, everything that matters is organised in a way that feels like storytelling, not admin.

A Platform She Loves and Wants to Keep

Jasmin rated SailTies 10/10 for likelihood to recommend, and when asked how she’d feel if it disappeared, her reaction was immediate:

“You can’t stop. I absolutely love it!”

She’s creative with her logs, takes pride in presenting her voyages, and enjoys that so much of the platform is free to use.

“It’s like my sailing Instagram. Well done guys for creating it!”

A Modern Sailor’s Story

Jasmin represents a new generation of sailors:

  • Community-driven
  • Visually expressive
  • Data-curious
  • Passionate about tracking progress
  • Eager to share experiences

For her, SailTies is not just an app. It’s part of her sailing adventures. And she sums it up best:

“I’ve spent quite a lot of time being creative on it, and I really enjoy it.”
