🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [13/52] 🪢 These are the apps we use to make our anchor life a little bit smoother and get a little piece of mind at night! Do you use these too or do you have other favorites that should be added to the list, let us know in the comments! 🗺️ Navionics The app which we use for navigation. When it’s time to anchor, we use it to find a good spot and as we drop the anchor the one at the helm pushes the pin button creating a marker for the anchor location. ⚓️ Anchor Pro An app which works as an anchor alarm. We use the position from the Navionics marker and type it into the Anchor Pro app. There is an error margin as we get the position at the helm and the anchor is at the bow, but it works well enough! We then put in an allowed radius depending on the amount of chain and general surroundings. The app sounds an alarm if we go outside that radius. It’s not necessary to have the Pro version, but it allows for the app to send notifications to other units if the alarm goes off. 💬 Telegram It’s an app for chats and communication. For us, we use it to communicate with the Anchor Pro app. As long as we have internet onboard we can send a message in the Telegram app to the unit running the Anchor Pro and we get an instant reply with anchor distance and bearing. We also get instant notifications if there is an alarm. 📍Marine Traffic It’s an app for watching world wide AIS targets. As long as we leave the AIS running (and we are not in a too remote place) then we can watch our boat's position on here. If sh*t were to go really bad and Linnea would for some reason leave the anchorage without us, we could in theory track and find our boat this way. Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friends who needs to see this 🫶🏼

A Canadian classic Bob Perry design that ticks the boxes for both club racing and cruising. The highly sought after Mirage 35 feels is spacious but remains fun to sail and easy to single-hand. “Swell Skimmer” is in exceptional condition with every inch of this boat being attended to by an extremely knowledgeable owner with single-handed distance sailing in mind. New interior upholstery and foam, every locker sealed and lined to ensure no mold or mildew matched with thoughtful and clever modifications like the steel companionway, additional opening ports for ventilation, large stainless galley sink, Lagun table system, custom stainless 75 gallon water tank and locker modifications made to make the most of the space. Available with moorage at our popular Sidney location, this vessel has brand new zincs and the bottom just cleaned by a diver to protect the 2024 bottom paint. Recent 2022 Survey available, please contact our Vancouver Island Sales Office at 250-656-5832 to schedule a showing.
