| FORCE 4 2007 DEMO DOWNLOAD
Force 4 is our top-ranked tactical program with every feature you could imagine, for everything from buoy racing to racing around the globe, and many unique features. For a summary, CLICK HERE (note that the caption of each image on this page is a link to a more detailed description). The Force 4 package includes our Chartmaker utility, to convert any graphic image into a chart, our WindMaster wind-analysis and modeling program, and the optional PDA interface (Chartmaker is included in the DEMO). ONLY our software can perform meaningful tactical computations in venues with significant differential currents, such as San Francisco Bay. Our unique routing function is useful for local races, computing optimal routes in differential current, as well as for long ocean races, where both wind and current are a factor. This is ideal for races out the Gate or for the BBS. |

| This DEMO includes our tidal-current model and
charts for San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay, plus charts and wind data from recent
Pacific Cup and Transpac Races. With this data you can replay the tactical decisions in
these races and evaluate "F4"
for use in this year's Pacific Cup. And, you can try out F4's unique tactical functions and displays for buoy racing in San Francisco
Bay. Additional charts and data for the Pacific Cup will be provided after you purchase F4. Purchasers of Force 4 will receive high-resolution wind data for the Pacific Cup, without additional charge. |
