Somebody asked about the best Sail Racing Software - hands down it's
Deckman, if you can afford it.

Raytheon (now RayMarine) bought the guts of the SailRacer software
from KiwiTech. It was considered a pretty stable (and pretty good)
product when Raytheon bought it.

Has anybody heard anything about SwiftSail? The developer used to
participate in this list from time to time - his web site seems to
have disappeared. Seemed like a neat product.
