Popis: In this paper we propose a deterministic route planner for a sailboat suitable for areas where high quality wind and currents forecasts are available. An optimization based approach is used with the objective of minimizing the time required to arrive at a destination. Several simulations have been performed using high resolution regional forecasts from HIRLAM and MyOcean models in order to test the validity of this method.
