Sail polars describe your boats performance for a range of true wind angles in any given weather situation. Setting the Sail polar up in your PredictWind account is important for an accurate Weather Route and Departure Plan.

  • Under Weather Routing, click on Sail Routing.

  • Tap on the Settings cog top right in the PredictWind App, then Sail Polar Settings.

  • Open Preferences, Sail Type select from Predefined, Sail, Advanced or AI Polar. Please note: Advanced and AI Polar require initial setup on the PredictWind Forecast website.

  • Make your selection.

  • Tap the back arrow until you get back to the Sail Routing Map page.

  • Tap on the Download Arrow to validate your polars and run a Weather Route, this will SET the Sail polar in your account to be used across all platforms.
