## What is Race Planner by Saillab?

Race Planner — Sailing Start & Tactics

The complete tactical toolkit for competitive sailors and coaches.
Prepare smarter. Start better. Race faster.

From analysing the start line bias to recording wind patterns, Race Planner gives you the tools to collect, analyse and act on the data that matters most — before the gun fires.

— START LINE ANALYSIS —
The most powerful feature in Race Planner. Enter the course bearing, wind direction and speed, place the RC and PIN with GPS, and instantly see:
· Which end of the start line is favoured and by how many boat lengths
· Your recommended start position — numbered option (1–4) based on line bias and tack split
· Port vs. starboard tack split with exact minutes to the windward mark
· Your full recommended sail path from start to M1
· A visual canvas with laylines, start box triangle, and conditions overlay

Supports Optimist · ILCA 4 / 6 / 7 (Laser) · 420 · 470 · 29er · 49er · 49erFX · Nacra 17 · iQFoil · Formula Kite · Techno 293 Youth

Course types: Windward/Leeward · WL + Offset Gate · WL + Reaching Finish · Trapezoid · Optimist Worlds · Optimist Inner Loop

— DATA ENTRY —
Record true wind direction and speed, gusts, current direction and speed, and swell data quickly before or during race preparation. Use GPS to automatically capture current direction and speed from a 60-second drift track, or enter values manually. All entries are geo-tagged and feed directly into the Start Analysis auto-fill.

— GRAPHS —
Visualise your recorded data in clear, time-based graphs for wind, current and swell. Direction charts handle compass wrap-around correctly — no false spikes through North. A median line on every chart helps you spot the prevailing conditions at a glance.

— RACE MAP —
Plan your race directly on the map. Draw freehand annotations with Apple Pencil or your finger, place full course overlays (windward-leeward, triangle and more), and view live laylines, mark positions and GPS-tracked sailed paths. Capture a screenshot of your full strategy to share with your crew.

— NOTES —
Save high-resolution snapshots directly from Start Analysis with one tap. Annotate your race plan with freehand drawings and review it during the race briefing.

— LOGBOOK —
Every entry is saved with a timestamp and GPS coordinates. Export your full logbook as CSV or XML for post-regatta analysis in external tools.

— DESIGNED FOR ALL APPLE DEVICES —
iPhone — full featured, portrait layout
iPad — optimised canvas with larger schematic and side-by-side cards
Mac (Apple Silicon) — full screen experience via Mac Catalyst, all features available with mouse and keyboard

— iCLOUD SYNC —
All your data syncs automatically across your devices via iCloud. Your 60-day free trial is also tied to your Apple ID — reinstalling the app does not restart the trial period.

— SUBSCRIPTION —
Race Planner includes a 60-day free trial with full access to all features. After the trial, a yearly subscription unlocks continued access. The subscription renews automatically each year. You can cancel at any time — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Race smarter. Race Planner.

Race Start & Finish Tracking
Tap the new RACE START button in Start Analysis to log the exact moment your race begins — it turns to RACE STOP so you can mark the finish with one tap too. Every start and finish is saved straight to your Logbook, with support for multiple races in a single day (perfect for regatta days with restarts or several races back to back).

See It on Your Timeline
Your race starts and finishes now show up as green and red markers right on the time slider in Graphs and Race Map — so you can instantly see exactly which wind, current, and swell data lines up with your actual race window.
