Every trip and every stay adds to a set of totals for your boat: how far you have gone, how long you were under way, how many nights at anchor, how many countries. Saillogger keeps them all, and you can look at any stretch of time you like.

Badges sit on top of the same data. They mark milestones, and are awarded on their own as you reach them.

Open your statistics

Stats in the navigation, or saillogger.com/app/stats. On a phone it is under More, in the Records group.

If you have published your boat, your stats also have a public address, https://saillogger.com/<your boat>/stats, which is what the Share button hands over.

Choosing a period

A row of chips sits under the heading: All time, then one chip per year you have logged anything. Tap a year, and everything below it changes to that year.

Every figure counts only the period you have chosen, Unclassified nights included, so a number and the list it opens always agree. All time is the whole record.

What the page shows

First, eight tiles:

Then Nights, one row per way of staying, in days:

• At home port
• Away, and beneath it At a dock, At anchor, On a mooring buoy, then any stay types of your own
• Unclassified, nights whose stay type has not been set

Your own stay types appear alongside the built-in ones. Making them is covered in Make Saillogger yours.

Last, Countries visited: a chip per country, with its flag. On a computer, resting the pointer on one names the regions you visited within it.

If you have logged nothing in the period, the page says No trips in this period instead of showing zeros. If that is true of every period, no trip has been logged yet: Check that it is working is where to look next.

Open what is behind a number

Most figures are links to the thing they are counting.

• Trips, Distance and Time under way open your logbook, showing the trips the number was made from.
• Longest trip, Max speed and Max wind open the trip that set the record.
• Moorages opens your places.
• Every row in Nights opens those stays. This is the quickest way to classify the stays under Unclassified: tap the row, then set the stay type on each one. A stay leaves the list as soon as you classify it, so the list gets shorter as you work.

These links carry the period you are reading, so tapping a figure while a year is selected shows you that year. Going back returns you to your statistics with the same year still chosen.

Sharing your statistics

Your statistics are private until you publish them. Turn on Sharing and then Stats under Settings > Sharing, and your stats page becomes visible at the public address above. See Share your journey, including how to put a password on it so only the people you choose can read it.

The Share button beside the heading hands over that public address, carrying the period you are reading: pick a year and the page opens on that year for the person you send it to. All time sends the whole record.

Your earned badges appear on your public pages too. Locked badges never do, and neither does your progress towards them.

Badges

Your badges are at saillogger.com/app/badges, and Badges in the navigation, under Records on a phone.

Beside the heading is a count of how many you have earned out of the total, for example 7 of 28 earned.

Below that, an Almost there row appears when you are close to a badge and shows the two or three nearest milestones with progress bars. If no badge is close, the row does not appear.

Then the badges themselves, in categories:

• Milestones
• Seamanship
• World & Regions
• Latitude & Extremes

Each category header carries its own count, like 3 / 6. Three chips above them filter the badges: All, Earned, Locked.

Reading a badge

An earned badge shows its medallion in colour, its name, the month and year you earned it, what you did to get it, and often a line such as Held by 4% of boaters.

A locked badge is a faded medallion with what you have to do to earn it. If it is the counting kind, it also shows a progress bar and how far along you are, for example 3 of 5. A badge with no recorded progress has no progress bar.

A few real examples of badges and what earns them:

There are others for particular waters, from Club Alaska to Round Britain.

How badges are awarded

Badges follow three rules:

• They arrive the day after you earn them, rather than the moment you qualify. The badge for today's passage turns up tomorrow.
• They are never taken away. Once a badge is yours it stays yours, even if you later delete the trip or the stay that earned it.
• They are worked out from your whole history. A new badge is awarded for things you did years ago, not only for what you do next.

There is nothing to opt into and nothing to claim.

The badge e-mail

When you earn something, Saillogger e-mails you. The subject is You earned the <badge> badge, or You earned <n> new badges when several land together. The e-mail shows each medallion, what it was for, how many badges you now hold, and which one you are closest to next.

It belongs to the Navigation notification group, so it arrives only if Notifications are on for e-mail and Navigation is switched on within them. Turning Navigation off stops the badge e-mail along with your new trip and weekly summary e-mails. See Alerts and notifications.

You also get a row in your in-app notifications feed reading You unlocked a new badge: <name>, which opens your badges page.

The daily passage e-mail

While you are on a long passage, Saillogger sends a daily update instead of making you wait for the week. The subject is Daily Passage Update: <Month D, YYYY>.

It goes out only while you are on a long passage: more than a day under way, with a substantial distance covered. A trip shorter than a day never triggers it.

It belongs to the same Navigation group as the weekly summary and the badge e-mail, so one switch governs all three.

The weekly summary e-mail

Once a week, Saillogger sends a summary of your boat's week. The subject is Boating Summary for the Week of <Month D, YYYY>, the date being the start of the seven days it covers.

It contains, when there is something to put in each:

• Number of Trips and Total Distance Covered
• Places Visited, one line per stay, in the form 3 days at <moorage>
• Max Wind Speed
• Minimum and Maximum Outside Temperatures
• Minimum Battery Voltage and Charge, the low points of your week
• a Pro Tip, one of a rotating set

Then, for each fleet you belong to:

• its New Members for the week, or a line saying there were none
• Number of Trips by Fleet Members and Distance Covered by Fleet Members
• Top movers, the three most active boats in the fleet with their distance and trip count

If you are in no fleet, that section invites you to join or start one. Friends and fleets explains how.

The summary is not sent at all in a week with nothing to report: no trips, no fleet, no wind, no temperature and no battery readings means no e-mail. A quiet winter does not fill your inbox.

It belongs to the same Navigation group as the badge e-mail, so the same switch governs both.

The summary also appears in your in-app notifications feed, as Weekly summary for <boat>: <n> trips, <distance>. That row opens your statistics page with the dates already set to that week, which is the quickest way to look at one week on its own.
