Wind Coach vs Santana Sailing

Wind Coach connects to your boat's wind instruments via WiFi, giving you real-time wind analytics that help you make smarter decisions on the racecourse. LIVE WIND DISPLAY Stream true and apparent wind data from your YachtDevice YDWG gateway or B&G MFD over WiFi/TCP. See real-time speed and direction graphs with smoothing, trend indicators, and wind shift alerts. RACE-GRADE ANALYTICS Wind Coach computes the same metrics used by professional sailing coaches: - Detrended CSD: measures how shifty conditions are - Phase Persistence: how long shifts last before reversing - Phase Duration L/R: time spent in left vs right phase - Shift Trend: degrees per hour of persistent veer or back - Oscillation Predictability: how periodic the shifts are - Dominant Period: the rhythm of wind oscillations in minutes B&G MFD FILE DOWNLOADS Browse and download wind data files from your B&G Zeus chartplotter over WiFi/FTP. M2X ANALYTICS INTEGRATION Sign in with your M2X Analytics account to automatically sync wind data. Works offline - data queues while you race and uploads when you're back on internet. NETWORK SCANNER Auto-discover NMEA instruments on your WiFi network. Finds YachtDevice gateways and B&G MFDs automatically. Built by sailors, for sailors. Wind Coach is part of the M2X Analytics platform.

Santana is a sailing tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. Record your time on the water with one tap, then review every session on a map with the wind data layered on top — no account, no subscription, and nothing leaves your phone unless you ask. RECORD ANYWHERE Start a recording from the wrist on Apple Watch or from your iPhone. The watch keeps logging even when your wrist is down, and the session transfers to your phone when you're back in range. REVIEW WITH DEPTH Every session opens to an interactive map with your track coloured by speed. Pull up the bottom sheet for max speed, average, distance, and duration. GPS outliers can be excluded with a per-session speed cap that keeps them visible on the chart but leaves them out of the averages. WIND, ADDED AUTOMATICALLY After a session ends, Santana fetches the historical wind speed, direction, and gusts from Open-Meteo for the area you sailed. The wind graph lines up with your speed graph so you can see how your boat reacted to each shift. Optional — toggle off in Settings if you'd rather your data stay fully offline. COMBINE SESSIONS Select multiple sessions on the list to view them all on one map, colour-coded per session. Useful for "show me my whole season" or "compare these three races side by side." PRIVACY BY DEFAULT - No account, no signup, no subscription. - All your sailing data is stored on your iPhone. There is no Santana server. - Location is used only while you're actively recording. - Open-Meteo receives a coordinate and a time range only when wind enrichment is enabled. No identifier follows the request. REQUIREMENTS - iPhone running iOS 17 or later. - Apple Watch running watchOS 10.2 or later (optional, but where Santana shines for hands-free sailing).
