Sail Tactician

Cruise mode, Garmin and COROS imports, and tacks measured from the moment you cross the wind. Cruise: • Choose Cruise as the session type for a day sail. There's no countdown, start line or live tactics, just Start, and it opens on its own Cruise screen of speed, heading, distance and time. • Before you leave, the pre-start shows the day: sunset and daylight left, the forecast wind, gusts and temperature, and whether GPS and battery are ready. On iPhone it adds your season so far. • A long sail saves its track less often as it grows, instead of re-saving the whole thing every 30 seconds. End always saves everything. • A cruise's detail drops the Coach and course tools, and Results & Notes becomes Notes. • Race Views is now Metric Views, with a default view for races and one for cruises. Import (beta): • Import FIT files from Garmin, COROS and most other sports watches, or the .zip Garmin Connect exports. Importing the same activity twice brings in one race. • Speed and course are worked out from the track when a file has none, and sparse "Smart" recordings are filled to one point a second. • An imported race gets your selected boat, and a Complete this session card asks for what the file couldn't say: type, boat, wind and windward mark. • Every import except STX is marked beta, with a Report a problem button. Maneuvers: • Speed loss and recovery are now measured from when your bow crossed the wind, not when the app confirmed the tack. Tack losses used to read far too low. • A big speed loss is judged against your own usual turn that race, so a gusty day or a heavy boat isn't held to a light-air number. • Training suggests tacking or gybing drills when a quarter of your turns were big losses, not because they were all a little slow. • In drills, a slow rebuild is called while the boat is still slow. Watch sync: • Re-sync to iPhone now works even while an automatic transfer is queued. • Each race shows its own status: Sending to iPhone or Waiting for iPhone. Also: • Deleting an event and ending a drill confirm with a standard alert.
