My boat is not on the list of Predefined Polars

What are your options if your boat is not available in the predefined polar list

  1. Consider using a similar boat from the Predefined boat polar list, run a weather route, look at the Wind Tables. Do the results look reasonable for that particular wind speed and true wind angle. Apply the polar speed adjustment as necessary and run the routing again until the polars are refined. See this article for more details on the polar speed adjustment.

  2. Use our basic Sail or Motor polars.

  3. You can create your own boat polars using our Advanced Polar format.

  4. Use PredictWind's AI Polars: Connect a PredictWind DataHub to your boat's instruments and enable automatic AI Polars. This will track your boat's real-time data and create an optimized polar specific to your vessel and sailing style. This is the ultimate way to get accurate polars.

Please note: If you can get the polar data from the designer, manufacturer or perhaps from an owners forum then we can upload it into our system. We require the polar to be in a .pol or .txt format, we cannot upload the data from a .pdf polar diagram only.
