October 2018 Passage Planning with Savvy-Navvy by Dick McClary

sbmesafirstmate on October 2, 2018 Member News and Articles

There are loads of useful apps for nautical applications available these days. For example, you can find them for:

  • electronic charts;
  • wind forecasting;
  • departure planning;
  • tidal calculations.

But I’ve recently found one that combines all of these functions into one extremely useful fully-integrated passage planning programme. It’s called Savvy-Navvy and I would urge you to take a look at it.

Created by round-the-world sailor and ex-Google employee Jelte Liebrand, I found it absolutely intriguing.

I’ll certainly be using it next season.
