So what you want is a Routing App, like SailGrib or Squid Mobile apps or similar (they are several).

One of the problem is that Windy would have to include polar plot or polar diagram for many models of sailing boats, racing and pleasure boats, including for your boat otherwise you would be very disappointed.
What is a polar plot? (Click on Fig.1 and scroll)

This is a large library to update regularly.
@MTSAVKAL I notice the same thing too, here in the Philippines. One local weather site even went on to comment that they use mostly GFS for wind forecasts (because according to him, wind readings by ECMWF is usually over-the-top). They only use ECMWF for precipitation forecasts, but even in that aspect, GFS seems to be more accurate.

There is a plugin with Skew-T format soundings

ivo, there's still a bug affecting Win10 + Firefox 66.0.5 (most recent version).
I can now make a full video within Firefox but when I press "Publish Save" it allows me to save the video locally, and keeps playing the displayed video on the save screen, but it otherwise locks the browser and I can not open any other webpage anywhere on the internet.
I have to close the browser to get control back, but then the publishing has not taken place (though I do have the video saved locally). The final video works fine but Windy is not giving me my browser back because it can't finalize the publishing process and let go the browser again.

Don’t extend the detail forecast, you will not need to disable it.
We know that local detail forecasts beyond 6 days are not reliable. The 10 days forecasts are only useful at large scale, which is the scale of layers on the map. People who look to 10 days detail forecast are generally very disappointed. Increasing the length of detail forecasts is giving a false feeling of skill and precision. At least @ivo should consider to add a confidence index which is based on the ensemble model spread forecast.
Thanks for creating, maintaining and constantly updating this great app! Love it for flying everyday.
A turbulence forecast/Mountain wave would be fantastic.
Wonderful but...
Too complex for me, frankly - I’m a windsurfer and a walker.
I really miss not being able to see wind speed trends over time. Please consider reinstating this feature. Many thanks for your consideration and for such a lyrically beautiful and functional software creation.
