Anemomind: Digital Advisor for Sailors
- contingencies 12y agoLet's be clear here: this is for people sailing with tonnes of instrumentation who want more instrumentation. There's a fairly large resistance in the recreational sailing community to relying on electronics, and smaller boats generally have none (people just use a phone for GPS or whatever), so I guess this is destined to be a niche product.
- kevinprince 12y agoDisagree, their is a ton of data on the NMEA bus on even small boats which is useful for logging and working out whats going on across various systems. I built a custom board to handle this last year with a Pi for capture. Generally from what I've seen in the UK is GPS, Log and weather vane's are digital so should have NMEA feeds. Small vessels are advised to use paper charts. Its one of those things which still beats an electric plotter.
