Wind Router.
Browser weather routing for sailboats. It combines a boat's ORC polar with live forecast weather to suggest the fastest route between two points — respecting the best wind angles and steering clear of land and shallows — all drawn on a nautical chart. Built first for S/Y Astarte.
- ORC polar speeds
- Live Open-Meteo wind
- Isochrone routing
- Nautical vector chart
The case study.
- The problem
- Weather-routing software is built for ocean racers: costly, desktop-bound and slow to set up. Coastal cruisers in the Aegean still plan passages by eye.
- Who it is for
- Cruising and racing sailors in Greek waters, starting with S/Y Astarte.
- How it was built
- A browser app with a small helper service. It reads the boat’s ORC polar, pulls ECMWF, ICON-EU and GFS forecasts from Open-Meteo, and runs isochrone routing around coastline and shallows. Designed and coded with AI coding agents.
