Sailino

Sailino is where people who are at home on, in or around the water meet — skippers, motorboaters, paddlers, divers and swimmers. Local knowledge, shared by the people who were actually there, and the tools to use it aboard. THE COMMUNITY – A feed of what other sailors have put on the chart: anchorages, hazards, harbour notes, whole passages – Put your own spots on it, with photos and ratings. A note from somebody who anchored there last week beats any pilot book – Communities to join by region, boat or interest, each with its own posts, discussions and shared routes – Follow the sailors whose water you care about, and see what they are up to – Messages and group chats, one to one or with your crew – The radar shows who is around you right now, and lets you reach them PLACES, AS PEOPLE FIND THEM – Anchorages, marinas, harbours, slipways, waterway locks and hazards – Every spot carries photos, ratings and comments from the people who used it – Search around the boat, or anywhere you are planning to be – Add what is missing — the map is only as good as the last person who cared THE CHART – Sailino's own sea chart, drawn from OpenStreetMap and OpenSeaMap data – Sea marks in proper IALA symbology: buoys, beacons, lights and their characteristics – Sharp at every zoom, from an ocean crossing down to a boat length – Live navigational warnings from NGA, ELWIS and EuRIS, on the chart and as a list RECORD THE PASSAGE – Start the recorder and the track draws itself, day by day, each day its own colour – Keep a logbook as you go: notes, positions and photos, tied to the moment they were taken – Every leg stays separate, so a two-week cruise reads as the days it was made of – Runs with the screen off and with no signal at all — the track stays on the phone until you choose to share it – Share a passage as it happens, so people ashore can follow along ANCHOR WATCH – Set the circle, and the alarm sounds if the boat leaves it – It judges the centre the boat swings around rather than its raw movement, so normal swinging on the chain raises no alarm – An early warning tells you how much room is left, before the alarm itself ALSO ABOARD – Rain radar, compass, and a profile for your own boat – Ship browser: look up a vessel, or keep your own – Offshore Mode: the app stops reaching for the network entirely Sailino speaks English, German and sixteen more languages. Free to use, paid for by occasional sponsored cards in the feed. Important: Sailino is an aid to navigation, not a substitute for official charts, up-to-date publications and good seamanship. An anchor watch supplements a proper watch — it never replaces one.
