The Pathfinder Sailing™ App on iPhone provides sailors with the information they need to get better starts and sail faster consistently. The app connects to a boat’s existing B&G Instruments and provides performance information in context during different parts of the race.
Currently supported instruments are B&G:
with more instruments supported soon.
The mobile app includes screens for pinging the exact location of the starting line ends. The Start screen provides critical pre-start information, including your distance from the line and your Speed to Start to help you hit the line at full speed at the starting signal.
Timer screen that makes it easy to keep track of your starting time, and the optional audible countdown timer allows you to keep your eyes out of the boat while starting.
The Start Analysis screen appears immediately after the start and provides a performance analysis snapshot of your boat’s speed, distance from the line, and true wind angle at the start. The data is saved to provide you with a starting trend analysis over time.
After starting, the Speed screen provides you with information about how the boat is performing against your polar. Pathfinder provides a library of standard polars you can choose from, or you can use your custom polars. This ensures the boat is sailing at optimum speed, point, and heel angle for the conditions.
Sail the course faster by clearly understanding wind trends and visualizing tidal current direction and strength. See trends over the past 10, 30, or 60 minutes to better understand their patterns.
