Getting started

Try Avelsta without an account

BeginnerUpdated

Upload your NKE logs without creating an account: replay and generated polar in a few minutes. Trial duration (6 hours), limits, and how to keep your sessions by creating an account.

The essentials

The trial without an account lets you analyse your own logs right away, without an email address.

  1. Open avelsta.app and choose Polar Generator or Replay in the menu.
  2. Drop your .LOG or .nkz files in the “Load data” area (200 MB at most per upload).
  3. Wait for the processing to finish: your sessions appear under “Source sessions”.
  4. Polar view: click Generate automatically to compute the polar of your sessions. Replay view: choose the session to replay in the Session list.
  5. To keep your sessions, click Create an account in the banner: they are moved to your new account.

How long is the data kept?

The trial is tied to your browser and lasts 6 hours. The banner at the top of the page shows the time left. When it expires, the logs, raw files and sessions are deleted. The Delete everything button in the banner erases everything right away, raw files included.

Moving the trial to an account

When you create an account from the trial (the “Create an account” button in the banner or on the page), your trial sessions, imports and files move to the account, on your first boat. When you sign in to an existing account, the trial is not moved: it stays readable until it expires.

No logs at hand?

Click Explore an example session: a real sailing session opens read-only, compared with its boat’s polar. See Explore the example session.

Frequently asked questions

Can other users see my logs?

No. The trial can only be read from your browser, then it is deleted.

What happens if I close the tab during the upload?

Files already received are processed; the others must be uploaded again. Keep the tab open until the upload is over; the processing itself carries on on the server.
