Description

The wind you feel on a moving boat isn't the real wind. True-Wind Calculator turns the apparent wind you measure into the true wind you need — in two taps, no wind instruments required.

In use since 2013, completely rebuilt in 2026.

HOW IT WORKS

Enter boat speed, apparent wind speed, apparent wind angle and heading. The app does exact vector math — no lookup tables, no approximations — and gives you true wind speed and true wind direction instantly. Boat speed and heading can be filled automatically from GPS and compass with one tap.

FREE

True wind speed, direction and angle — unlimited calculations

One-tap GPS fill for boat speed and heading

The formula explained, so you can trust the numbers

Works completely offline — no account, no ads, no tracking

PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription)

Performance — live VMG, target boat speed, % of target VMG and point of sail, driven by your boat's polar

Tactics — tack preview, windward-mark laylines, and whether you can lay the mark

Boat polars — pick a preset or build your own in the editor

Compass rose view — heading, apparent and true wind on one dial

Calculation history — every result logged with its inputs

All speed units — knots, m/s, km/h, mph

Bought the app back when it was paid? Pro is already yours — it unlocks automatically.

PRIVACY

Everything stays on your device. Location is read only to fill the input fields and never leaves your phone. No analytics, no third-party SDKs.
