Store description excerpt

Sailor’s Companion is the sailing logbook that sails along: everything that matters on one screen, a thumb away — and as beautiful as sailing itself. On your iPhone, your wrist and your iPad. A CHART THAT STAYS SHARP — AND GOES OFFLINE (PREMIUM) Drawn live, the chart stays crisp at every zoom, and sea marks appear wherever you sail. Draw a rectangle over your cruising area and that chart is saved to the phone: the same chart, the same sea marks, with no connection at all. Place names come from that same data, so your logbook names your anchorage correctly with no signal — and you search for places the same way. Twelve chart layers switch on and off one by one. PRESS AND HOLD THE CHART A card opens on the spot you picked: read off its position, find a place, set a course there with GoTo, or leave a note — and tell OpenStreetMap when a sea mark is missing, wrong or gone. WHAT YOU SAW, WHERE YOU SAW IT Whales, dolphins, seals, birds, turtles, sharks: hold the chart, pick the species, and the sighting stays on the spot. The species list ships with the app, so it needs no signal — and sightings travel into the logbook, the PDF and a shared link. SHARE YOUR VOYAGE, LIVE Send one link and family and friends follow you in any browser while you sail: the track, your anchorages and moorings by name, distance, time under way and speed. Nothing to install, no account at the other end, and only whoever holds the link can read it. EVERYTHING IN ONE TAP Log a manoeuvre or status change with a single tap on the status wheel. On the same screen you read SOG, COG and the miles sailed. ON YOUR WRIST The same status wheel on your Apple Watch: your status with SOG and COG at a glance, quick actions like Tack and Jibe under your thumb, and the whole trip in numbers. What you log out of range lands on the phone once it’s back. ON IPAD In landscape the app splits: chart on one side, logbook on the other, so you watch the track and read your entries at once. From the iPad Pro down to the mini. GOOD SEAMANSHIP The latest forecast right in your logbook, quick observations in Beaufort, Douglas and oktas, and a status that knows whether you’re sailing, motoring or anchored — a lovely hand with your navigation lights. TRACK AND MANOEUVRES, UNITED Your path is recorded to the metre and tied to every logged manoeuvre. Miles sailed come from the real distance travelled. Colour your track by speed or status, and measure a route right there for distance, bearing and a live ETA. SLEEP EASY AT ANCHOR Set a swing circle: the anchor watch keeps an eye on your position, sounds the alarm if you drag, and shows it on your Lock Screen. ONE BUTTON FOR PERSON OVERBOARD Press and hold and the app drops a person-overboard mark, starts the clock, and points you straight back with bearing and distance. FUEL, WATER & BATTERY AT A GLANCE Keep track of every tank and bank, log readings, and see how long fuel and water will last. YOUR BOAT’S INSTRUMENTS Connect to your NMEA 2000 networ
