Optimal readability & instrument replacement:
Large, high-contrast digits display speed (SOG), course (COG), and heel – ideal for use in direct sunlight or from a distance in the cockpit.
Specialized regatta features:
A real highlight is the regatta countdown. Once the countdown is complete, the app automatically switches to speed mode. Especially convenient: The app provides voice prompts with information on time and speed, allowing the sailor to keep their hands and eyes free for the maneuver.
Innovative safety with "Anchor Alert To Go":
In addition to a classic anchor alarm, the app offers the ability to remotely monitor the boat's position via the internet. This allows you to check the anchor's hold on your phone at any time while ashore.
Navigation & Tracking:
The app uses OpenSeaMap for navigation. You can plan routes, set waypoints, and record your trips. Tracks can be exported (GPX, CSV) or shared as images to document or analyze your experiences.
Performance Analysis:
By integrating weather data, values such as VMG (Velocity Made Good) can be calculated, helping ambitious sailors find the optimal course relative to the wind.
