Hi Nuno, the comma will be allowed in the next version (will be allowed in place of periods everywhere). Sorry, I had overlooked that it could be a legal decimal point in some locales, and the iPhone is very good about respecting local customs.

The density is controllable in the settings, let me know if you think the range isn't sufficient, or you'd like to see another method.

Dan, using this on my iPhone 8 w/ software v13.7

Display Settings for light or dark mode aren't showing. In Settings I only see MAP DISPLAY and INSTRUMENTS, am I missing something?

The icon at lower right calls up the polar but looks like an audio speaker symbol. Not sure what widget symbol could replace it, minor UI tag anyway.

Would be great if low speed wind polar was an option

I don't see a way to expose wind speed/direction at the arrows.

I also find it useful to expose the timing to the next DC, perhaps a toggle in instruments?

Forgive me as this is a fast pass, congrats on this super pro job!!!

Thanks mfa_wsg for all that.

- display settings are set on the device, look in the Settings app, Display & Brightness. On my phone I also added that to my Control Center for quick switching (swipe down from top right corner, add controls in Settings->Control Center)

- the name of that icon in the bottom right is radio waves, so, yes, you're right. I thought it reflected the shape of the polars, I'll try to think of something better, maybe use the Sailonline logo? I'm trying to use built-in icons for a consistent look, and Apple hasn't yet designed an icon for yacht racing polars :-)

- I need to rework the polar window at some point -- it was the first thing I did in the app, and it's gotten a bit old already, so, yes, I'll add some options for low wind

- will need to add TWS/TWD labeling

- there a tag at the bottom of the screen that gives you timing to the next DC, when there is one; do you mean something additional?

Thanks again for reviewing all the features!

Dan, just saw the tag re DC timing, perfect, missed it before. I woke up and dope slapped myself re radio waves = polars. IMO it's totally fine and in my UX/UI experience, you just learn it.

I was puzzled by the Steering Line at first but I just figured it out using the stupid Rum race as my sandbox, Brilliant UI!! I'm liking the app a lot!

Great! I updated the polar icon anyway, I like the new spidery one, see screenshot.

Current Races:

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
