Halcyon Yachts partners with SailTies

Halcyon Yachts is excited to announce a new and innovative partnership with SailTies, the sailing logbook app. 

SailTies makes it easy for our 4,000+ skippers and crew to create their sailing CV and keep it up to date automatically.

When a crew member is selected for a yacht delivery, the Halcyon team can quickly search for their CV and download it to send to customers from the SailTies Admin dashboard.

How it works for Halcyon crew members:

• • Sign up to SailTies (free on iOS and Android)
  • Approve connection to Halcyon Yachts
  • Add your past voyages and any qualifications
  • Tap to generate a sailor CV with automatic stats and insights
  • Easily log voyages going forward by recording on the app, importing GPX files or filling in manual entries – your CV is updated instantly

“SailTies is not only saving us time managing crew CVs, but it’s great to have them all in one format to send to customers. They look amazing with stats, voyages, qualifications and countries sailed. Knowing they’re always up to date, makes it hassle-free for us and our crew.” says Richard Payne, our Operations Manager.

Chris Jacobs, co-founder of SailTies, came up with the idea for the app whilst on a yacht delivery with Halcyon. “We’re really proud to be trusted by Halcyon Yachts and love the sailing their crew have added to the app already – hundreds of thousands of miles all around the globe! They have also given us some great ideas for new features, which we are already working on.”

What is SailTies?

Put simply – the best place to record your sailing adventures and build your sailor CV – the digital replacement for a sailor’s paper logbook! The app keeps a shareable record of all your voyages, qualifications and vessels. Past voyages can be added too, digitising your sailing history in a matter of minutes!

There is lots of collaboration built into the app: all the crew can be added to the same voyage, to share photos and logs. Group pages (such as the Halcyon Yachts group) let members see voyages that matter to them most and the home feed is a fun source of inspiration when you’re off the water.

It’s all completely free, with premium add-ons coming later this year.
