Logbook goes hi-tech?

[andyc0904]

Just signed up and tried out the on-line logbook on www.Boatlogger.com. It seemed very good and they also have an Android app to log the boat's position which is then send directly to the logbook online. Unfortunately I only have iPhone and that app they say is not released until in a few weeks.

Anybody have tried it so far? Is it as good as it look?

My concern is if your company folds then do I loose all my logged journeys and stored comments and photos? Nice concept though.

I use the facility on Open CPN free nav software. stores the maintenance log as well

i use an excel spreadsheet on computer and phone. With dropbox app it will automaticly sync it between phone and computer so you dont have to copy it across yourself. I do the same with my jobs list for the boat.

How is it for working up an EP in the fog when the power has failed?

Have a look at "Salid Sailing Log Book" if you want one for iPhone

It also requires a paid subscription.....

OP must think forum users are not the full shilling. His first post and it's a product promo. You'd think people would at least have the wit to do a couple of months posting before trying it on?

Seems a bit Mickey Mouse in my opinion. The Yacht List styles itself as "The complete list to yacht models around the world" but is sorely lacking in that claim and the yacht specs pages have non existant data!! Not a Rival or a Bowman in sight and only one Moody mentioned.

Doesn't matter - this forum has massive google juice and he's already succeeded in his aim of siphoning some of it off for his own ends. Dropped ball by the mods, I fear.

Interesting use of English throughout the site. I looked up Westerly in the "Yacht Models", I didn't know the Oceanlord had been shrunk to 3.9m and I'd be very interested in seeing the 1269m Wasa Yacht - particularly as it is powered with a 47hp engine...

The Wasa yacht will probably be counting the milliamps.

Interesting concept that has been done before, as can been seen on many signatures on this Forum.
