Sailor's Log Book

Sailor's Log Book helps sailors to keep their logbook accurate and up-to-date. Trips, crew and boats can be managed by this application. The device's sensors are used to fill as much as possible automatically, e.g., location, heading, cog, sog, air temperature and humidity.

The application will automatically track your sailing route in a configurable interval. Time to time you will be reminded to make a manual detailed log containing weather conditions, engine status, sails and light configuration among others. A trip can be paused and resumed any time. For faster and more detailed log entries, shortcuts, i.e., engine, weather, sails, lights, narrative and photo, are available on the home screen or in the drawer. This will create a partial log entry keeping your logbook detailed.

This application DOES NOT REQUIRE INTERNET connection. A password-less (QR Code-base) login is possible for, e.g., synchronization, map overlay download and other features but NOT REQUIRED for the application to work.

If you plan to sail without internet connection you can upload a map image using the http://sail.expert website and fix it over a real map. Such map overlays in your account can be then downloaded to your mobile device and used when on sea with no internet connection.

While sailing you can fix a concrete bearing or target point you want to sail to and the application will tell you the the target course. An alarm if you are off course can be also set up.

The narrative section is for log relevant events on board. It help you to create the narrative section in your log book and create entries, e.g., man over board, assistance required, etc.

The help section contains useful information for sailors. This includes, among others, COLREG 72, ICS, NATO and RNCS flags, Beaufort scale.
