Jeppesen Marine proudly introduces the Windvantage™ Weather Router feature to the popular Sailing Plus Pack.*

This feature relies on the Route Wizard to make calculations based on the boat’s performance characteristics (which are stored in the polar files) and a GRIB weather file. The software then creates a recommendation for the best possible route.

Windvantage Weather Router complements the comprehensive feature pack, containing key cruising and performance tools that will undoubtedly improve your sailing skills. Sailing Plus Pack delivers the right information – when you need it.

Incoming wind and sailing data, whether delivered via Ockam®; B&G®, or strictly from NMEA input, is used to create a total awareness in your Nobeltec display. Import or create a polar file and watch it instantly update with actual on-water data. Next, display on-screen indicators, such as laylines, reverse laylines, and over-the-chart wind indicators. Then display polar targets and actuals as a real number or percentages for instant performance verification. You can also measure data and performance using analysis tools that are built into Nobeltec’s exclusive Strip Chart technology.

Features:

  • Windvantage™ Weather Router
  • Polar File Import
  • 50 Pre-Installed Polars from U.S. Sailing®
  • Real-time Data on Polar Display
  • Strip Charts for Trending and Analysis
  • Laylines and Wind Indicators
