The Complete Yacht Race Player and Analyser

With the free player, you can play online races and TackTracker race files that have been sent to you. You can also view any supported GPS data. The Race Editor License unlocks the ability to record your own races (with one or more trackers) and build a personal race library. You can create race files to share with your friends.
