A few weeks ago we have sent a survey asking about the need to measure the maneuvers:
A few weeks ago we have sent a survey asking about the need to measure the maneuvers:- Distance Lost (on TWD or mid COG’s axis) during tack or jibes
- Distance lost to mark
- Time of the maneuver
Running on E-Ink
This is a first trial running SailRacer app on E-Ink Adroid reader, and it looks promising.
Visibility in direct sunshine is the biggest problem for mobiles phones and tablets. Most of them have LCD screens that works with backlight LED’s – certain pixels are dimmed on top of light panel to form a view. E-ink technology reflects the light – what makes it ideal for outdoors.
SailRacer and SailTimer
SailRacer, the leading sailing app for both professional and amateur sailors, announced a partnership with SailTimer Inc., the leader in Wind Instruments for non-instrument boats. As of today, both companies will jointly market each other products. Sailors now will have the ability at an affordable cost to measure wind and sail the most efficient and fastest course also taking into account polar, laylines and wind oscillations.
Old school vs SailRacer
Each of us has a different approach when it comes to sail racing; but most of the times, it’s either old-school – less tools and tech, more manpower; or modern – using all the tech you’ve got to make sure you’re the winner. Well, that tech can help you win. Here’s why:
VMG is misconception
During SignalK workshop organized by DigitalYachts at METS trade show we heard a discussion that the most important thing during upwind and especially downwind is VMG. This is WRONG and we think this is common misconception.
Signal K
We are proud to announce integration of Signal K in Sail Racer application. It enables every user to easily connect all native boat communication, navigation and instruments to Sail Racer application.
