Polars explained
Boat polars represent the performance of your boat in different wind and wave conditions and are critical to creating accurate weather routing results.
Automated AI Polars
Our new AI Polars reference real-time data to learn the way you sail your boat, to create hyper-accurate weather routing.
Up until now this was limited to the realms of professional navigators. PredictWind now makes it simple and easy to get accurate, personalised polars for your boat. This ensures your boat’s location matches the predicted weather route, resulting in a more accurate forecast.
How it works
Simply plug in the PredictWind DataHub® to your boat's instruments and turn on the automatic AI Polars. PredictWind will then track your boat’s real-time data and automatically create an optimised boat polar for your unique vessel and sailing style.
More than just wind
AI Polars also factor in wave conditions (wave height, period & direction) to create a hyper-accurate polar that is a realistic representation of the boat's offshore performance. Accurate polars are critical for giving the most accurate routing on earth.
Night Polars
AI Polars will adapt to the unique way you sail at night. Typically, sailing at night will mean reduced speeds, as we sail more conservatively and it is harder to sail at optimal levels.
AI Polars analyses how you sail at night and factors this in to your polar data, providing the most accurate polars for day and night.
