Dear Winfried,

The new sailcut is as free as it can get, even the source code is
open for everyone to use it. It is not yet as mature as Sailcut4 but
it will be there fast. As you are in South Africa you may be
interested to know that you can select Dutch as a working language,
that is the nearest to Afrikaans we could get.=20

 To get the Windows version go to:
 http://sailcut.sourceforge.net
 follow the download link and on that page you will need to download
 first  qt-mt230nc.zip=20
 then  Sailcut-0.7.0_win32.zip=20

 Create a clean folder named  Sailcut in your directory C:\Program
Files for example and extract in this Sailcut folder all the files
from the two zip above.=20

 Open the folder C:\Program Files\Sailcut and launch the Sailcut.exe
and enjoy.=20
 A few tips:
 The help menu give you access to a user manual.

 Start with the View menu.
 View>Dimensions give you access to the screen to create new sails,
put the correct data for the rig dimensions and the proper sheeting
angle such that after you have made and saved a jib and a main sail
you can use the View>Rig menu add these sails to it and look at the
 combination.

 As this is a new software bugs may exist, please tell us.=20
