Description
Sailware allows sailboat racers to input courses and track progress to the next mark in a race with information such as VMG to course, angle to the next mark, and sailing time/distance to the layline. Sailware also provides tools to help sailboat racers time the start of the race/regatta. Each sailboat/yacht race's GPS track is recorded so that it can be reviewed after the regatta completes.Key Features:
Import/Export courses and marks in GPX format. Easily attach GPX files to e-mail with the Sailware sharing features and import e-mail attachments and files by simply selecting them in the app to launch Sailware GPX importing. With Sailware Premium you can export GPS sailing tracks for completed races.
Sailboat racers will appreciate the ability to differentiate marks by color and type and to label the starboard or port rounding. Marks are automatically advanced as you get near to them. All text readings are shown in white font on a black background to maximize readability in all conditions.
The race timer can be set for a standard countdown of any length. With Sailware Premium, an audio timer is available to keep the crew in sync and the start time can be set to a specific time of day, even to the second, to handle pursuit starts. Once the race timer is set, sailboat racers can easily adjust the timer to match the committee boat.
Sailboat racers with a premium subscription have access to tools to help them start on time. Racers can set a start line and then Sailware indicates whether the sailboat is early or late to the start. Sailware adjusts for the sailboat or yacht size and GPS placement, so make sure to configure your sailboat or yacht measurements in the settings.
Sailware records the GPS sailing track for each regatta that can be reviewed later. Sailboat racers can playback the regatta or view a GPS sailing track of the race. This is very useful for updating mark locations if the initially entered coordinates do not match reality. Premium subscribers can export the GPS sailing track of past races and courses to the GPX standard format.
Sailware supports NOAA charts and offline maps for premium subscribers and google maps for all sailboat racers to view boat position relative to the next mark. The display shows the current boat position, bearing, and the target mark. An overlaid compass shows the bearing. In addition the layline is shown. Chart and map information is available in the settings.
In addition to VMC (VMG to course), Sailware calculates and informs sailboat racers whether the sailboat is on the shortest leg to the mark. This feature can be especially helpful when the next mark is far away or not visible.
A premium subscription supports advanced post race/regatta analysis such as tools to review the tacking angles, a color coded "heat" track that visually represents boat speed during the race, and the ability to filter out pre and post race maneuvers. Knowing what tacking angles your sailboat or yacht is capable of in various conditions can help sailboat racers better choose when to tack in order to make the mark. With a premium subscription sailboat racers can get a better idea of their yacht's typical tacking angles in various conditions.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
3 ★An adjustment needs to be made to teach the app that tacking over top of land is not a thing a sailboat can do. Shore lines need to be acknowledged. Revised review -the developer suggests the app is only for "info to help make better tactical decisions". I continue to suggest that suggesting a tack that takes place over land is a bad tactical decision. I acknowledge that using the app at night, would not be safe.
2 ★Price is too high. Did not find layline info accurate or consistent but that could be my internal phone compass. Adding marks and mark size on map is awkward. Timer and line ping works great.
5 ★What happened to wear os app?? Edit: amazing customer support. Please guys come to Garmin ecosystem
5 ★Fantastically simple in a world of bloated, complicated sailing apps. This makes racing/waypoint sailing really straightforward. My only complaint is directed at Google who have rejected the WearOS app. Please help Sailware by providing the feedback they need to get the WearOS app accepted back into the store.
5 ★Best app for course racing. Wouldn't be without it. BTW How about a link to Garmen Watch
5 ★Perfect in old wear os watches! Any news about a Garmin version? Any updates in the horizon?
5 ★The best sailboat racing app available. Looking forward to syncing with a Wear OS watch!
5 ★Simple, great interface, shows VMG to mark.
5 ★Just perfect. Simple UI as intended for use during race. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a Garmin version as wear os watches are a pain to use. I keep mine only for this app😁 PS. Answer to reply. I have some hopes as well, but on the other hand it is just easier to wear on watch on the boat with which you can actually swim
5 ★With Sailware we sail more consistent tactically sound races. It gives us an information edge that (when combined with other situational information such as wind, tides, etc.) helps us make better tactical decisions while sailing. Good sail trim and boat speed still matter the most, but better starts and tactics can make a difference in a close race.
