The latest SailCruiser update is now available!
Finally, an intuitive PC-based marine navigation system made especially for sailors!
SailCruiser accounts for sailboat tacking using wind, speed and direction to get you to your destination as quickly and
efficiently as possible. Standard GPS chart plotters assume that sailboats travel in a straight line to their destinations,
and are unable to calculate an accurate ETA during tacking legs. Finally, a solution!
SailCruiser provides a new standard for sailboat navigation. Tacking Time to Destination (TTD)™ is basic information
that all sailors should have easy access to. SailCruiser provides a clear display of the optimal tacking route, and shows the
Tacking Time to Destination.
Among its many innovative features, SailCruiser will display tacking on multiple waypoints (below left). Racers will find this
an invaluable aid, showing tacking routes and TTD around an entire course. Polar Plots can also be entered for individual boat performance.
Why sail by trial and error with telltales and VMG, when you can see the best route at a glance and the TTD before you even put wind in your sails?
