This all-in-one sailing companion app is an essential tool for any sailor, integrating all critical aspects of voyage management, safety, and logistics into a single mobile application. It eliminates the need for multiple papers, logbooks, and fragmented notes.
Best Functions (Short Highlight):
Logbook: Meticulously records all voyage details (position, weather, course, distance), with crucial entries like position and barometer potentially auto-filled by the phone’s sensors. Trip summary previews show average boat speed, wind speed, total distance traveled, and barometer trends.
Passage or Pilotage Planner: Enables detailed, safe pre-planning of a route with specific waypoints, including buoy descriptions and required headings.
Depth to Anchor Calculator (DTA Calculator): Provides a critical safety estimation for anchor rode length by factoring in vessel draft and local tidal movements (using the Rule of Twelfths), helping ensure safe anchoring. Though this is not the most reliable method for every location, it is certainly a good estimate.
Checklists: Multiple personalized checklists can be created according to your preferences.
Pre- and post-voyage checklists pre-set in the app(customizable and resettable) ensure no essential safety or operational task is overlooked.
Vessel Info: Acts as a central, immediately accessible repository for all critical vessel data, from dimensions and tank capacities to MMSI, Call Sign, Registration, and Insurance Information—all in one place, just in case of emergency.
