SeaSafe plans an offline sailing handbook for boat-delivery passages
A prelaunch phone app for skippers bringing a newly bought boat home, presented as an offline handbook with cited sailing guidance and emergency cards.
- For
- Skippers delivering a newly bought boat home
- Worth noticing
- The page says nine emergency cards work without the model; the handbook must be downloaded over Wi-Fi before departure.
Field notes
The homepage lays out a passage workflow: download the handbook over Wi-Fi before departure, ask in plain language while underway, then inspect the cited source beneath an answer. It also describes nine emergency cards, including a written Mayday call, available without loading the model. A comparison table contrasts the proposed phone workflow with finding material in a cabin textbook; the page says the apps remain in store review, so these capabilities are not yet independently testable.
