April 2008.: SailRouter 2.0
SailRouter™ is software that calculates the quickest sailing route relative to the weather forecast and sailing boat polar diagram data, i.e. it calculates the quickest sailing route in terms of user-defined departure and arrival points, boat type and departure time according to the weather forecast for the specified sailing area.
Moreover, if the customer wants to avoid a strong wind, the SailRouter can calculate the optimum sailing route, i.e. the quickest sailing route with weaker wind strength than the user-defined maximum wind. It can also calculate the waiting time, if necessary to avoid a too strong wind.
The customer can specify two sailing sets (with and without the spinnaker) in a single polar diagram and the SailRouter will calculate when to set the spinnaker up or down.
The calculated route is shown with connected points and the following information per each point:
• course in deg
• spinnaker (up or down)
• boat tilt (to the right or left)
• distance from the starting point
• sailing time from the starting point
• boat speed
• wind angle and strength
