SailBits was created by Steve Mitchell in 2007 to document his experiences with sailing and general technology. Over the years, it has morphed into a more review-based site for both sailing electronics, boating projects, and general technology. We are not paid to write reviews — all content you find on the site is based on real-world usage of the products and services that are covered. In almost all cases, we purchase all of the products ourselves and end up writing about them. In rare cases, manufacturers loan us products while we test them, but we are never paid or given free equipment just to write about them. The joy is in learning about new technologies and writing about them to share with others, not making money off of manufacturer kick backs and other means. The original platform for this development and experimentation was a sailboat named Jammy. Recently Steve has moved on to a bigger and more modern boat named Grace. Their stories, adventures, and histories are captured here.
