Testimonials
"We
had a great race and came 1st in our class. Sailfast was great
and
without it we would not have done so well, it was easy
to use and even though we didn’t have
the right polars it was still accurate." - Chris Mathews, UK [Transatlantic
Tall Ships Race]
"I
used your program in the last M-H race and loved it. It is
simple, easy to use and updates quickly. Have you considered
a version for the Newport to Bermuda race?" - JE,
Concord MA
"I
really liked the software on the Halifax last year and expect
to use it again in 2007."
– TS, Freeport
Maine
