Some of you may have noticed that Carl's Sail Calculator links no longer work.
Carl Adler died in 2013, and his site is no longer "live."
However, Tom Dove has taken the site and is hosting it. I think we owe Tom a big thanks for this service.

And, please raise a glass to Carl. I emailed him a few times with corrections and questions about data in the database, and he seemed a straight shooter to me. His concern was not ego of running a popular sailing resource, but rather accurate data in the database.
RIP, Carl. You'll be missed. Fair winds on your continued journey.
Thanks. I wondered what happened. He certainly provided a great service! RIP

Great that it's continuing- would be a real shame for it to disappear. However, when you go there, the data base is empty. No boats shown at all

Hmmm. I see the boats and looked up a boat this morning. Seems to work fine on my end, both via laptop browser (Firefox) and Android phone.
Ok- my spam blocker was allowing the site, but blocking all the info- :( :o
Working OK on my Mac
Good to see this useful website kept in service, and the tribute to it's author added to the page. A nice legacy.
Yes, thanks to Tom for taking over and hosting it.
