B&G WHAT IF tool explained: see wind and tide changes before they happen

B&G has released a short video explaining its WHAT IF tool, a feature in its sailing displays that lets you play out changes in wind and tide against your planned route. It's worth a watch if you race or cruise with B&G electronics and want to get more out of the route planning tools you already have on board.

The video runs through where to find WHAT IF, how to read the leg-by-leg analysis, and how to simulate changing conditions to see what they do to your passage.

*When planning a race or passage, conditions can change quickly. The B&G WHAT IF tool helps sailors visualise how changes in wind and tide may affect every leg of a route before they happen.

In the video, you'll learn how to use the WHAT IF feature in B&G sailing displays to analyse route performance, compare port and starboard tack times, evaluate sail change decisions, and understand the impact of changing wind speed, wind direction, and tidal conditions.

Whether you're preparing for a competitive race or optimising a cruising passage, WHAT IF provides valuable insights to help you make better decisions on the water.

The WHAT IF feature is available within B&G sailing navigation systems and helps sailors anticipate changing conditions to improve tactical and strategic decision-making.*
