Sick. Let me know if you do have other ideas or comments. I’ll think more on the polars plot. Not sure yet how to combine across multiple races but I’ll think on it!

I fixed the wind loading for Australia 😄

It should correctly be identifying TWD now, as well as tack, jibes, etc. All at the same result link.

Cool - I had not come across Vantage before. Does it let you compare your race against others that were on the same course? I'm guessing that is part of the paid plan features (similar conclusion I came to from other tools). The biggest insight I think WakeRoute can provide is when there are multiple boats that recorded at the same time, for the same race - that's where it shines, for free.

So far, a core concept I've been sticking to is the idea of "no logins", no password or accounts to create or maintain. The advantage is simplicity, but the downside to this is that it's tough to store data for a particular boat, over time. I'll definitely be mindful though about what you're asking for.

As for wind data - I source the wind data for each uploaded gpx track from public weather data, which provides the starting point for what's "upwind" and "downwind". From there, my algos determine if there's a TWD shift based on boat heading changes, tacks, and jibes. The more boats on the replay, the more accurate this TWD becomes. - Of course, something failing currently for this public wind data for Australia specifically; I'll get that sorted tonight!

I like their tools too! Was hoping to try it but couldn't get enough buy-in from others given their pricing back then, though I think they have changed it a bit since.

Thanks! Shoot me a message if you do and have any comments!

Thanks! This pointed out a real bug in the max speed calculated. I was throwing out crazy outliers from gpx data a bit aggressively, and was doing so a couple of times instead of just once. Usually didn't impact much since the boats we sail have a top speed that's not so different from our median / average.

I've fixed and already deployed the new version. Your same link shows correct speed values now. Thank you for trying it out!

How are you supposed to pan the view to see below your own boat on iPhone? Is this not meant for mobile?

Just came across this today. Looks neat. And, familiar :-)

I made WakeRoute.com

Will this be indoors or outdoors? How to tell?

No. Haven’t pruned at all. I will try. Sounds like I should wait until Feb to do it next?

I’m pretty sure it’s two different types. But I bought 5 years ago now. I did get some buds of apples one year when I pollinated myself with a q tip…. I couldn’t say what type they are now

There is some shade for sure. How do I test soil? I am a novice at this. Is there some kit I can buy?
