Racing This Weekend? Gain the Tactical Edge with Sailors Planner.

Whether you're racing with a seasoned crew or entering your first regatta, your best performance starts with smart preparation. That's where Sailors Planner™ steps in ...not just for cruising or coastal voyages, but also to help you sail smarter on race day.

🌊 Pre-Race Planning: Tides, Currents, and Strategy

Before the race even begins, use Sailors Planner to check the tide ebb and flow near your course using real-time NOAA data. Knowing how the current will affect your heading can give you a crucial tactical advantage... especially when combined with weather forecasts and wind direction.

Map out your route with interactive waypoints, identify areas with shifting water flow, and plan your segments for optimal speed and positioning.

📱 Track Your Route During the Race

Use your favorite GPS device or app to record your actual route throughout the race. Whether you're racing buoy-to-buoy or tackling a longer passage, capturing your track gives you the data you need for meaningful debriefs.

📈 Post-Race Review: Upload and Analyze Your GPX

After the race, simply upload your GPX file to Sailors Planner. Instantly visualize your route overlaid on your planned course. Compare your actual track to your intended waypoints, analyze your tacks, jibes, and wind angles, and identify where you gained or lost time.

This kind of visual review helps sharpen your crew coordination and tactical decision-making ...making every race an opportunity to improve.
