The LuckGrib weather routing system is flexible and powerful. The LuckGrib solver can be used in a variety of ways and for a variety of situations. A sailor planning a day sail will have different requirements than a sailor planning a long ocean passage, and both can use this system.

At the core of the LuckGrib weather routing system is the advanced, modern, isochrone solver. The solver is accurate and high performance. You are able to provide many configuration settings to the solver, which, where possible, are expressed in real world terms such as reefing at night, setting upwind sailing angle limits, heaving to.

The solver is easy to use, often quickly creating informative results in situations that other solvers struggle, or fail in.

As you become more familiar with the system and how to use it, there are additional configuration settings you can experiment with. You are encouraged, at least initially, to try to keep things simple.
