Inevitably you will soon be recording more data than you need. Often you will only care about a few hours in a full day recording. Another day the GPS will be left on when the boat is on the freeway.

Trim a sailing session

To help you focus on the data that really matters to you, you can easily trim your sailing tracks in ChartedSails:

• Click Edit in the top right corner
• Move the left and right bars on the timeline to select the data you want to focus on
• Click save to record this change

What happened to my data?

When you trim a session the data is not removed, it's just hidden away and ChartedSails will not use those hidden moments to calculate averages and other stats. If you ever need it back, you can simply click trim again and re-extend the session.

Dividing a session into multiple races

Very often you will have one file with multiple interesting moments (speed tests, races, etc).

ChartedSails allows you to very easily bookmark these moments to get back to them later. To make a bookmark, start by making a selection on the timeline (click and hold your mouse as you move the cursor - or use two fingers on touch screens), then give the selection a name.

You can also adjust the weather conditions (wind) for each bookmark. The program will remember your adjustments. This is very useful when the wind rotated throughout the day.
