The animated sail trim app was initially only presented as an Android application a few months ago. Now the makers at Nouveda GmbH in Switzerland are also offering the programme for the Apple operating system iOS. This means that Sailtrim Upwind One now also runs on iPhone and iPad. The revised version has also been given a new, appealing look.

The application explains to the user in a playful way what happens when you operate the various trim elements on a sailing boat. The desired sail (mainsail or genoa) can be selected and trimmed using a selection of different functions. The trim lines can be virtually tightened or slackened using a slider. At the same time, the user can see how the sails deform and for which wind and wave conditions the corresponding settings are suitable. The rig can be rotated along its vertical axis as required so that the changes to the profiles can be clearly seen from any angle.

The app is aimed at both beginners and advanced sailors and is particularly useful for training at sailing schools and for training purposes. Sailtrim Upwind One is now also available via the Apple App Store and also as an Android version in the Google Play Store. The price is 6.99 euros. The programme is suitable for use on smartphones and tablets. The desktop versions for Mac (OS X) and PC (Windows) are available on the Website of the provider available for download.
