A New Era of Sailboat Navigation
Special Pricing for Yacht Clubs
Did you know that ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) and VMG (Velocity Made Good) were functions in LORAN-C circa 1982, before PCs and GPS? As noted in the NauticEd sailing course, they were designed for vehicles, aircraft and powerboats, not for sailboat tacking. A lot has changed since then, but those functions were moved to GPS chartplotters and still have never been updated for sailboats.
Fortunately, SailTimer products are easy to use on boats of any size, and bring sailboat navigation into the digital era. The best features for sailors, at the lowest prices. The free SailTimer app supports Navionics charts, and is the only product that uses tacking distances to calculate your optimal tacks. If the app is getting wireless data from our Wind Instrument RB™, as the wind and your GPS location change, your optimal tacks update automatically.
Displaying tacking routes in the free app is great for sail training. You can also have an online connection from the Wind Instrument RB. Now members can check live wind conditions at your club from home. Or members in the clubhouse can monitor race progress out on the water with free race tracking.
