iPolar vs Regatta Manager

iPolar generates sailing yachts polars of cruising yachts and cruiser racers from a very simple set of data. iPolar is fully functional on iPad, iPhone & iPod touch. Mandatory Input data: - Length Overall - Displacement - Mainsail area - Jib area (units can be set to metric or imperial) Optional data: - Length Waterline - Symmetrical Spinnaker area - Assymetrical spinnaker aera For each sail configuration in the input data, iPolars will compute a performance polar decribing the yacht performance in kts for wind strength ranging from 4 to 30kts and true wind angles ranging from 0° to 180° Output format: Resulting polars can be visualized as a graph and as a table of numbers within iPolar. In addition, the polars can be sent directly to the weather/routing application Weather4D Pro. Limitations: iPolar has been developed to generate accurate polars of cruising yachts. It currently does not handle multihulls and is limited to yachts with a size ranging from 8 to 20m. The accuracy of the application decreases for yachts whose displacement to length and sail area to displacement ratios are outside the usual range for production cruisers and cruiser racers.

Regatta Manager is a powerful, easy-to-use race management solution designed specifically for sailing clubs to streamline all aspects of regatta management.  Regatta Manager scoring is fully RRS 2025-2028 compliant and approved by US Sailing. Here’s what it brings to your fingertips: • Design Race Courses: Visually plan courses on a map, drag and drop gates and marks, assign details like leave side, coordinates, pictures, and notes. Use Olympic and standard course template do dynamically configure courses and easily orient them to the wind direction. Use AR buoy finder mode to check buoy position, direction and distances. • Manage Fleets with Ease: Assign boats to classes, classes to divisions, and divisions to different rating systems (PHRF, ORC, IRC, ORR, ORR-Ez) both ToT and ToD. • Fully integrated ORC support: Just tap on the Download button to download all boats certificates and tap on the Assign button in Race/Rate view to assign to all ORC boats a coherent ORC rating index from the certificates such as one of the 5 band ratings or anything else supported by ORC. • Organize Races Efficiently: Pick courses, assign handicaps based on conditions, set starts and finishes, manage penalties, and review scoring—all within the app. • Visualize Key Data: See boats’ live positions, wind, and tide forecasts directly on the map. • Comprehensive and RRS compliant Scoring: Manage a full regatta series, automate scoring, and instantly publish live results to the web. • Simple Data Management: Import/export boat and race data and streamline web-based self-registration for competitors. • Live Mode: Manage your regatta in realtime from the committee boat with Starting Sequence countdown and flags indication, OCS Recording, Finish Recording, Abandon, Postpone and Recall flags, boat tracking through AIS Regatta Manager is an all-in-one, end-to-end race management solution designed to make your club’s regattas more organized, accessible, and enjoyable for organizers and sailors alike. Regatta Manager is a free and fully functional app and we're committed to keep the app totally free for Beer Can style regattas. The cloud infrastructure services that we offer anyway have their own infrastructure costs and we need to require a monthly or year subscription fee for advanced cloud functionalities and for allowing clubs to support unlimited number of Regattas and Races. Regatta Manager Service subscription support the following features: - Manage unlimited number of Regattas - Manage unlimited number of Races - Make all Regatta info visible on Cloud - Allows users to directly register on Cloud - Sync/Download from Cloud - Export/Import Regattas Standard Terms of Use (EULA) are applied and available at: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
