SAILTIMER: OPTIMAL TACKS AND TTD®


WOULDN’T IT BE NICE IF YOU COULD DISPLAY THE EXACT TACKS TO GET THERE FASTEST?

LEARN MORE APP STORE

Sailboats often tack to their destination, which affects the distance and travel
time. The SailTimer™ tacking calculations were developed beginning in 2005
because GPS chartplotters didn't know how far your tacking route would be. But
if they didn't know that distance, how could they calculate the ETA correctly?
Since GPS is available, why not just calculate tacking distances? The SailTimer
tacking results solved these problems, and set a new standard.

The SailTimer app provides an instant display of your optimal tacking route,
distance and Tacking Time to Destination (TTD ®). It can also learn polars for
your individual sailboat's performance in all wind speeds/directions, to provide
more precise tacking results. This is the only product that uses your tacking
distances to determine your optimal tack headings.
