Sail Expert

Sail Expert offers a comprehensive solution for sailors, combining navigation, regatta assistance, logbook management, and weather forecasting. This app utilizes device sensors to automatically log essential data like location, course over ground (COG), speed over ground (SOG), temperature, and pressure. If your boat is equipped with a WiFi NMEA provider, sensor data from the boat is seamlessly integrated. Supporting both TCP and UDP, Sail Expert caters to a wide range of connectivity options.

Wear OS Compatibility and Navigation Features

Sail Expert is compatible with Wear OS, allowing users to view instruments directly on their smartwatch. This enhances accessibility and convenience while navigating. The navigation functionality is robust; it offers features such as target course alerts, distance calculations, and estimated time of arrival (ETA) guidance. Sailors can plan routes or passages using intuitive methods, ensuring they stay on course during their journeys. The app also supports regatta participants by optimizing start line cross at the right speed.

Comprehensive Charts and Weather Forecasts

Sail Expert comes with offline-accessible map data from sources like OpenSeaMap and NOAA RNC, ensuring that navigational charts are always at your fingertips. You can import custom maps or scan, calibrate, and set up them as required. Weather forecasts from global sources such as NOMADS GFS and DWD ICON Global are easily downloadable, enabling you to make informed decisions while at sea.

Advanced Trip and Data Management

This app enhances trip planning with features to check in and out for boat transfers, export trip data in various formats, and even synchronize logged data. Its anchor watch feature issues alarms if your vessel drifts from the set area, and you can monitor this remotely using another device. User-requested features, such as PDF export and P2P data transfer, further enrich the experience, with a focus on making sailing smoother and safer. Sail Expert offers a backup and restore feature for data security and does not require an internet connection for basic functionalities, ensuring reliability in remote areas.
