Work with plans for oceanic regattas by calculating and selecting the tracks and checking the time frames along with possible critical points. A circle and rhumb lines calculator for long passages is available. Weather routing based on forecast options are included.
VRTool is a program that helps you plan oceanic regattas. It features a track planner for designing and calculating times in critical points, a great circle and rhumb lines calculator for long passages, weather routing, track optimization based on weather forecasts and boat polars, the ability to save regatta history to disk, and wind grid visualization options.
