Works with
Your Atlas, your watch, your instruments, your iPad and Mac. axiotrax takes what they record and turns it into the race — and here’s the engineering underneath.
Works with Vakaros Atlas 2
Vakaros Connect shows you a track and a speed graph. axiotrax reads the same race — natively, via the open VKX telemetry format — and turns it into a full debrief. One tap in the share sheet is the entire integration.
Race a J/70? Your fleet already runs Atlas. Every race you've ever recorded is one tap away from a full AI debrief.
axiotrax founder Clay Babcock worked at Vakaros, so this importer was built by someone who knows the format well. Vakaros and Atlas are trademarks of Vakaros, Inc. axiotrax is an independent product.
Works With Your Watch
axiotrax works natively with both Garmin and Apple Watch — 1Hz GPS precision, frame-precise video sync, and the full SmartCoach debrief experience. Whichever watch is on your wrist.
Garmin
Every sailing or regatta activity logged on your Garmin is packed with race data — GPS coordinates, speed, and every maneuver at 1Hz. axiotrax reads the FIT file directly and syncs it frame-precisely to your footage. No Garmin Connect subscription required.
Apple Watch
axiotrax includes a purpose-built Apple Watch sailing app that brings the same 1Hz GPS data gathering and precision race-start countdown of a dedicated Garmin sailing watch right to your wrist. A configurable N-minute sequence, real-time sync adjustment, haptic countdowns, and GPS saved directly to Apple Health — imported into axiotrax with zero extra steps.
Live Instruments · Pro
Wind is your horsepower. You use it, seek it out, manage it — turn every shift to your advantage. axiotrax already uses next-level intelligence to infer wind, learn the conditions you race in, and build that context into every coaching conversation. It does a great job.
But what if it actually knew your wind — second by second? Everything would go to the next level.
Connect a wind source and axiotrax sees the live signal directly — wind speed, direction, and angle measured on your boat, not modelled from a weather grid. Your polars come to life, and every coaching insight is grounded in exactly what the wind was doing at that moment. There are two ways to feed it, from a full instrument network to a single wireless sensor on your mast.
This is coaching in the AI age.
Actisense W2K-2 — NMEA 2000 to Wi-Fi gateway.
Plug it in. axiotrax does the rest.
Two ways to feed axiotrax your live wind
Already have masthead wind instruments? Add a small NMEA 2000 Wi-Fi bridge like the Actisense W2K-2, and axiotrax reads your boat's true wind speed, direction, and angle straight off the network. Nothing to calibrate — it's already dialed in.
No instruments? Mount a Calypso Ultrasonic wind sensor at the masthead. It's solar-powered with no moving parts to break, and it streams wind to axiotrax over Bluetooth — which fuses it with your GPS to ground every reading in true wind. Nothing to wire, nothing to power.
Either way, the signal lands in the same place: live on your map, saved with every session, and in front of SmartCoach for every debrief.
One logbook · every screen
Finish a race on your iPhone and it's already on your iPad and your Mac — no cables, no exporting, no thinking about it. axiotrax syncs your whole logbook through iCloud, and it runs natively on Apple silicon Macs. The phone is the recorder. The big screen is the debrief room.
Now on iPad
The iPad version of axiotrax is designed for the larger screen — not just scaled up. Your GPS track fills the right panel while your data, overlay controls, and SmartCourse analysis scroll on the left. Everything visible. Nothing hidden.
Under the hood
Most “AI features” are a chat window bolted onto an app. SmartCoach is the other way around — the coaching architecture came first, and it does four things no other sailing app does.
SmartCoach reconstructs the wind for your whole race — then asks one question before it critiques any decision: could you have known, at that moment? A correct call that got rolled by an unknowable shift gets credit, not blame.
Mid-conversation, the coach queries your actual GPS record — your tacks, your legs, your start — and answers with your numbers, not generic advice. You'll see it work: “Analyzing your tacks…”
Every coaching answer is checked against your real data — on your phone — before you see it. If the AI's claim doesn't match your GPS record, you see the correction, not the mistake.
Every tack gets a verdict against the reconstructed wind: KNOCKED — the breeze headed you, tacking was the right call. LIFTED — you were on the favored board and gave it away. Settle the argument before you reach the dock.
Patent pending The technology behind SmartCoach — hindsight-fair analysis, live data retrieval, on-device verification, and per-tack shift scoring — is patent-pending.
