18th January 2010 - New Product Line-up!
Version 3.0 of SailClever Racer is now available! A new main menu interface has been implemented that allows you get to the most used screens with only one click. The most important forms have been optimised for speed so that they open almost instantly. We have also cut the time taken to input courses, ping the line and set-up the comms. For instance if you are inputting a fixed mark course from a course card we have nearly halved the button clicks required meaning a full route from a course card can now be inputted in as little as 10 seconds!

While most of the work has focused on improving the flow of the program we have also built in one new feature for starting. Previously the program only worked out the line bias for upwind starts. Now if you are starting on a reach or a run the program will show you the time to the first mark from five points along the line so that you can choose the optimum place to start.

Over the winter we have also been working on our new iPhone version. Unfortunately this has been delayed due to technical issues and it won’t be ready for the upcoming season.

18th January 2010 - HTC HD2 Bluetooth issue
We are not currently supporting Windows Mobile 6.5 devices and in particular the HTC Touch 2 due to an incompatability with the bluetooth on the phone. We hope to have this fixed soon. If you are running Windows Mobile 6.5 and would like to buy the software we suggest that you first apply for a trial licence to make sure the software runs as expected.

1st October - New Product Line-up!
From today we have decided to change our product offerings. Listening to demand from our users we have already developed a PC version of the software. We are also currently working on porting the software over for use on the iPhones and iPod Touch. We have decided to change how we sell our current Windows Mobile version of the software. From now on we will only supply the software pre-installed and bundled with the Nautiz X7. This is the latest rugged PDA on the market and its built in features like digital compass and GPS will allow us add extra functionality to the program. Check back over the next few months for further updates. We will of course continue to support all existing users.

25th May 2009 - Excel Course Card and mark file generator released

To help make the creation of mark files and course cards easier we have created a special Excel spreadsheet to simplify the process. You can input all the data in Excel and then simply export it to a text file by the press of a button. The spreadsheet will output the data in the correct format. All that is left to do then is to drag the files over to your device. Many thanks to Tom Smith of Davas Ltd for doing most of the work on the spreadsheet. You can get the spreadsheet by clicking here…

Note: It is currently still on beta release

    20th December 2008 - Version 2.0 released

    With over a year of testing and refinement going into its development SailClever Racer 2.0 is released today! It now supports:
    • Connection to internal GPS unit on your device
    • Smartphone compatibility
    • Auto-connect to bluetooth or internal GPS on start-up
    • A simplified user interface.
    • Improvements to Talkback set-up for Nexus, TackTick and B&G.
    We are also now supplying the new F2M01SXA bluetooth dongle from Datasoft. This is the replacement of the previously very popular LM058 dongle. The new dongle is smaller, has a greater range and most importantly can take up to a 30V power input so you can power the dongle off your boats power supply. When you turn on the instruments the dongle will also power up.

    To go along with the new release we are also offering a range of special introductory prices. See the purchase page for more details! And finally a bit thank you to everyone who offered suggestions and help test the beta Version of the 2.0 release!
