Sailware (Sailboat Racing)

Sailware allows sailboat racers to input courses and track progress to the next mark in a race with information such as VMG to course, angle to the next mark, and sailing time/distance to the layline. Sailware also provides tools to help sailboat racers time the start of the race/regatta. Each sailboat/yacht race's GPS track is recorded so that it can be reviewed after the regatta completes.

Key Features:

Import/Export courses and marks in GPX format. Easily attach GPX files to e-mail with the Sailware sharing features and import e-mail attachments and files by simply selecting them in the app to launch Sailware GPX importing. With Sailware Premium you can export GPS sailing tracks for completed races.

Sailboat racers will appreciate the ability to differentiate marks by color and type and to label the starboard or port rounding. Marks are automatically advanced as you get near to them. All text readings are shown in white font on a black background to maximize readability in all conditions.

The race timer can be set for a standard countdown of any length. With Sailware Premium, an audio timer is available to keep the crew in sync and the start time can be set to a specific time of day, even to the second, to handle pursuit starts. Once the race timer is set, sailboat racers can easily adjust the timer to match the committee boat.

Sailboat racers with a premium subscription have access to tools to help them start on time. Racers can set a start line and then Sailware indicates whether the sailboat is early or late to the start. Sailware adjusts for the sailboat or yacht size and GPS placement, so make sure to configure your sailboat or yacht measurements in the settings.

Sailware records the GPS sailing track for each regatta that can be reviewed later. Sailboat racers can playback the regatta or view a GPS sailing track of the race. This is very useful for updating mark locations if the initially entered coordinates do not match reality. Premium subscribers can export the GPS sailing track of past races and courses to the GPX standard format.

Sailware supports NOAA charts and offline maps for premium subscribers and google maps for all sailboat racers to view boat position relative to the next mark. The display shows the current boat position, bearing, and the target mark. An overlaid compass shows the bearing. In addition the layline is shown. Chart and map information is available in the settings.

In addition to VMC (VMG to course), Sailware calculates and informs sailboat racers whether the sailboat is on the shortest leg to the mark. This feature can be especially helpful when the next mark is far away or not visible.

A premium subscription supports advanced post race/regatta analysis such as tools to review the tacking angles, a color coded "heat" track that visually represents boat speed during the race, and the ability to filter out pre and post race maneuvers. Knowing what tacking angles your sailboat or yacht is capable of in various conditions can help sailboat racers better choose when to tack in order to make the mark. With a premium subscription sailboat racers can get a better idea of their yacht's typical tacking angles in various conditions.

Wear OS watch support is also available with a premium subscription. Once the race is set up on the phone, sailboat racers can manage the entire race from a Wear OS watch. Just put the phone somewhere safe nearby with good GPS reception and the watch app can give sailboat racers the most critical information about their progress toward the next mark. Even the start timer can be started, stopped, and adjusted from the watch once it has been initially set up on the phone. If you have a larger yacht, give the watch to a crew member and keep the phone in the cockpit so that key tactical information is more available to everyone in the racing crew.

Sailware允许帆船赛车手在比赛中输入赛道并跟踪进度到下一个标记，其中包括VMG到赛道，到下一个标记的角度以及到达layline的航行时间/距离等信息。 Sailware还提供工具，帮助帆船赛车手开始比赛/帆船赛。记录每艘帆船/游艇比赛的GPS轨道，以便在帆船赛结束后对其进行审查。

主要特点：

以GPX格式导入/导出课程和标记。使用Sailware共享功能轻松将GPX文件附加到电子邮件，并导入电子邮件附件和文件，只需在应用程序中选择它们即可启动Sailware GPX导入。使用Sailware Premium，您可以导出GPS帆船赛道以完成比赛。

帆船赛车手将欣赏通过颜色和类型区分标记并标记右舷或左舷圆角的能力。当您接近它们时，标记会自动前进。所有文本读数均以黑色背景上的白色字体显示，以最大限度地提高所有条件下的可读性。

比赛计时器可以设置为任何长度的标准倒计时。使用Sailware Premium，可以使用音频计时器使机组保持同步，并且可以将开始时间设置为特定时间，甚至可以设置为秒，以处理追踪开始。一旦比赛计时器设定，帆船赛车手可以轻松调整计时器以匹配委员会船。

拥有高级订阅的帆船赛车手可以使用工具来帮助他们准时开始。赛车手可以设置一个起跑线，然后Sailware指示帆船是在开始的早期还是晚期。 Sailware可根据帆船或游艇尺寸以及GPS放置进行调整，因此请务必在设置中配置您的帆船或游艇测量。

Sailware记录每个帆船赛道的航行轨迹，以便日后查看。帆船赛车手可以回放比赛或观看比赛的GPS帆船赛道。如果最初输入的坐标与实际不匹配，这对于更新标记位置非常有用。高级用户可以将过去的比赛和课程的GPS航行轨道导出为GPX标准格式。

Sailware支持NOAA图表和优质订户的离线地图以及所有帆船赛车的谷歌地图，以查看相对于下一个标记的船位置。显示屏显示当前船位，轴承和目标标记。覆盖的罗盘显示轴承。此外还显示了layline。设置中提供了图表和地图信息。

除了VMC（VMG到赛道）之外，Sailware还会计算并通知帆船赛车帆船是否在最短的航线上。当下一个标记远离或不可见时，此功能尤其有用。

高级订阅支持高级赛后/赛船分析，例如用于检查定位角度的工具，用于在比赛期间直观地表示船速的颜色编码“热量”轨道，以及过滤赛前和赛后操纵的能力。了解您的帆船或游艇在各种条件下能够达到哪些角度可以帮助帆船赛车手更好地选择何时进行攻击以获得标记。通过高级订阅，帆船赛车手可以更好地了解他们的游艇在各种条件下的典型定位角度。

还可以通过高级订阅获得OS OS手表支持。一旦在手机上设置了比赛，帆船赛车手就可以通过Wear OS手表管理整场比赛。只需将手机安放在附近安全且GPS接收良好的地方，手表应用程序可以为帆船赛车手提供关于他们进入下一个标记的最重要信息。一旦初始设置在手机上，即使启动计时器也可以从手表启动，停止和调整。如果您有一个更大的游艇，请将手表交给机组人员并将手机放在驾驶舱内，以便赛车工作人员能够获得更多关键的战术信息。
