      @rdretcanu I have contaccted both teams but no answer so far. I was told that Gitana is not willing to share their data.

                      @kbsali Looking forward to combining routing to the plugin! I currently manually track racers in another app to generate routes, would be much better to get this from the race organizers who should have more accurate polars.

                      Seeing the VG organization make good use of Windy, especially the satellite overlay, in their official daily updates is awesome.

                      For the Jules Verne, the Gitana tracker has both boats and is updated hourly. Don't know if it's worth scraping the data. http://www.gitana-team.com/en/tracker.aspx

                        @kbsali has explain several times that Trophée Jules Vernes teams are not willing to share their data.
                        Read the posts above.
                        By the way, the 2 boats shown by Gitana tracker are the Gitana trimaran and the previous winner i.e. Idec skipped by Francis Joyon. They are not the 2 boats racing actually for the Jules Vernes trophy, Gitana and Sodebo.

                          It would be interesting to get the polars of the boats. Suppose its secret and not available.

                            Do you mean the polars of each boat sailing the Vendée Globe? I don’t think there are available. What is available are the polars of a ‘standard’ IMOCA class boat.

                              Hi Kevin, it seems you have added a 'future best track' for each boat probably plotted by a routing software. Which one do you use?
                              That's very useful and interesting to see the boats surfing on strong winds associated with roaring forties depressions.

                                Hi @idefix37

                                Well spotted, I should have announced it here too (only did it over twitter this morning).
                                Yes : new version available with 3 days routing predictions loaded when you open the info popup of a boat.
                                This is provided by squid and is based on the GFS model (I need to check if we can preselect "GFS" instead of "ECMWF" :))

                                  Personally I prefer to keep the wind map as forecast by the ECMWF, even if the routing track is based on GFS.

                                      There are more details in wind field even at Gale or Storm level weather. But if you prefer to preselect GFS when loading your plugin, why not if it is possible to switch back to ECMWF. And with GFS as default model for the plugin, it would obviously be more consistent

                                        Hello, a small issue that other users have probably noted : the routing track is not updated at same time as the boat position.

                                        Capture d’écran 2020-12-01 à 10.17.19.png

                                        The 2 black points on the routing track are the predicted position at 12h, 24h lapse time?

                                          Yes, and unfortunately I cannot do much about it. I will try to get the "routing based on report date XXX" together so we can better explain the issue. Note that I have added the report date in the infobox on the bottom-left.

                                          The 2 black points on the routing track are the predicted position at 12h, 24h lapse time?

                                          the routing are for the next ~73h, and the dots are added every ~24h (mouse hover the dot and it will show). I couldn't find a better way to show that info (so far). Any suggestion? :)

                                            thanks for the great plugin, @kbsali.

                                            any chance you can show the routing of ALL boats when I move the date slider forwards?
