New, novel and highly effective graphical tactical sailing guidance software. Race Guide is designed to put you in the right place at the right time, make smarter decisions and get better results. With Americas cup and Olympic heritage Race Guide provides unquestionable performance gain.  - A standalone tablet/phone tactical solution or connected to the boat instrument network to run using instrument data and link to Navigator software. - Driven by tablet/phone GPS, Bluetooth GPS or boat instrument GPS.  - Live, replay and simulator modes give you the power run realtime, replay or practice.  - Add further value with a Race Guide performance subscription enhancing the predictive calculations and increasing frequency and fidelity. Bespoke techniques remove the noise and variation historically seen with tactical aids so the software runs out of the box, whilst keeping the option for more bespoke configuration via the addition of broader polar data, more detailed environmental data predictions and more in depth understanding of the sensor data on board. These will push the performance gains further, maximising the potential of the guidance.
