Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide sailing information to users of a mobile structure. A sailing user interface system includes a logic device configured to communicate with a compass or orientation sensor, a wind sensor, and/or a speed sensor. Sensor signals provided by the various sensors are used to determine a heading and a wind direction for the mobile structure. The wind direction and heading may be used to generate a steering guide display view. The steering guide graphically indicates the heading of the mobile structure relative to various optimum velocity made good (VMG) headings associated with the mobile structure, its heading, the wind direction, and/or a performance contour for the mobile structure. The steering guide may be displayed to a user to refine manual operation of the mobile structure, and the information rendered in the steering guide may be used to autopilot the mobile structure.
