TacticTool is a sophisticated tactical tool and performance package for Yachts. The program provides graphs of all essential data like Speed, Course, Windangle etc. In addition the software calculates VMG, Performance and Target Boatspeed based on polar data. The calculated data can be output in a customizable NMEA sentence to display on a repeater. In addition the software displays a rudimentary tactical display with laylines,heading and a simple electronic chart.
TacticTool has evolved from the wish to be able to analyse sailing performance during and after sailing in parallel with normal navigation. Tactictool offers valuable insights into a yachts performance and provides essential information for decisionmaking and sailtrim during regattas. TacticTool can be used standalone during round the buoys races, or combined with a chart-plotting program for longer races or passages. TacticTool is also an excellent tool for the cruising yachtsman to establish the proper sailtrim to sail faster. |

In order to read NMEA values in the cockpit a new piece of software has been created to monitor a yachts performance on a pocket PC. Using bluetooth or wireless the data can be read from any com-port. Most standard NMEA sentences are supported, as well as proprietary TacticTool NMEA to transfer performance etc. Check the download section for the first release. |

TacticTool has been expanded with special functions for displaying calculated values on Tacktick micronet instruments. The Tacktick single line digital display has a special chapter which displays user data from TacticTool. Using these performance pages it is possible to display performance, targetspeed, time and distance to layline etc. In order to connect to Tacktick micronet, an NMEA interface (T122) is required. |
