Phil wanted a decent yachting forecast, which sounds like a simple request until you start thinking about what you actually want when you are on a boat.
Not just a little wind arrow and a temperature. He wanted weather, waves, GPS tracking, a map, voyage logs and the useful bits in one place. The sort of thing you can glance at in bright sun without poking at tiny buttons with cold hands.
So I built Phil's Yachting. It is a proper web app rather than another page full of weather widgets. It can use your phone's GPS to track a sail, show speed and distance in nautical miles, keep a voyage log and display a worldwide marine forecast with wind, gusts, waves, pressure and the rest of it.
There is also a safety screen for copying your position, marking a man-overboard point and checking whether the phone has decided to stop sharing useful information. It is not pretending to be a certified chartplotter, because that would be a very stupid thing for a website to claim. It is there to be helpful alongside proper navigation equipment and a bit of common sense.
Built for the actual job
The best bit is that it works as an installable app on a phone, tablet or desktop. It keeps working sensibly when the signal drops, stores voyage data on the device and gives Phil something that feels made for sailing rather than made for a boardroom demo.
Have a look at Phil's Yachting here. If you take it afloat, remember that the app is a useful companion, not a substitute for charts, navigation equipment or knowing where you are.
