New to forum, love the Tool! Not sure if this has been covered anywhere, but for those of us who don't buy the premium options...is there a way to delete or dumb down the sail selections that the Tool uses? Thanks

Hello, full sets of polars are available on my site :
http://vrtoutoulz.exofire.net/ or http://bighorn.000page.com/ (if the first is broken)

Hey Ricoo,

Thanks for the quick response. I downloaded your polars, where in the tool do I import them. Sorry, I know I am such a noob...

Once in your pc, on your hard disk, note well the location where you stored them, then, in VRTool's winds tab, section Configuration, you'll find a field labeled "Polars" (not "MyPolars"!) with a browse button on the right, click this button, go to the location of the file and select it. Don't forget to validate your choice.
Also remember that the "full" polars may give you better sails suggestions, but work worse with the Weather Routing feature. They also slow down a little the display, but nothing very noticeable if you have a good machine. You can download both formats and switch between them according to what you're doing. It's what I do.
