Tony,
One solution is to get a multiplexer that has Wifi output on both TCP/IP and UDP. I use the Miniplex2-Wifi. It accepts up to 4 inputs and has two NMEA outputs as well as USB and Wifi (both TCP/IP and UDP) outputs. So that would provide you with all the data you need for the SailTimer app you mention. Not a cheap solution, but I have used this multiplexer for a year and find that it works well. See ShipModul (http://www.shipmodul.com/en/index.html)
if you are interested (I have no financial interest in the company but am impressed with the support it provides). You might also look at my recent post about calculating the boat speed upwind, relative to earth, not the water as is usually done. Works well.
Happy sailing! Eric
