Sail Routing

New intuitive and intelligent routing software

Orca, a Norwegian marine technology start-up, has launched Sail Routing, a particularly powerful new routing software tool.

By simply indicating a departure point and a destination, Sail Routing will work out the best route, calculated from among thousands of alternatives. This optimum route integrates the speed polars of your multihull, the wind and sea state forecasts and the current. The suggested route avoids difficult sailing conditions and minimizes the amount of tacking required. What’s more, the Route Timeline allows you to understand and analyze the conditions along the route immediately. Sections with big seas or strong currents are color-coded, making them easy to spot. The Route Timeline also shows the sailor where best to tack or gybe, making it easy to spot the most challenging parts of the route.

Price of the device (a dedicated tablet) and software available from www.getorca.com
