nice work

On the subject of polar charts, I developed a little program to work
with polar databases . Its called PolarStudio and can be downloaded from

http://www.tecepe.com.br/nav/vrtool/PolarStudio.zip

You can use it to draw polars for your real boat and use vrtool
to plan your real cruises. I included a set of polars for J/24

Oh yeah... And you can use it to import VR vpp files
(use menu option >File>Import.. Select multiple files vpp_1_*.csv, but ignore vpp_1_256.csv)
Than use File> export to VRTool.

Polar lines can be edited with the mouse.
Remember to share polar files you have produced...

do you race J 24 ?

Hi,

Big thanks to Omar and others that made VRTools useable with VR and various Operating systems
..... and to those supplying add-ons - much appreciated!

Upgraded to v.1.61 and just had to add an S to /Local Setting(s)/ for it to work with Win XP SP3 without using the HTTP plugin in Firefox.

BTW: We have three "J/24´s" here in the local sailingclub (Southwest coast of Norway). The Polartool might come in very handy for the Skippers

Keep up the good work!

Is there any other boat?

When I try to use the function 'Clear all marks', the program (VRTools) hangs and shows a 'Violation access msg' to an address.. '0800000' something or other.. /D

Here the same.
The solution is simple: delete them one by one.

You can also open the nav file in the notepad and delete the lines you don't need.

I corrected the "Marks > Clear All" problem and posted vrtool version 1.62 for download.
go to http://www.tecepe.com.br/nav/vrtool/download.htm

Thanks user FreeRunX5 for reporting the problem.
