Wind Rose.

A clean, at-a-glance wind instrument for sailors. It reads the boat's entire NMEA 2000 network over WiFi — through a dedicated bridge or a chartplotter's own WiFi network — then calculates and displays multiple data streams to assist in both racing and cruising, drawn as live gauges and a wind rose you can actually glance at from the helm.

Requires a hardware WiFi bridge

Currently in testing for iOS & Android

The case study.

The problem

Chartplotter wind pages are busy, small and hard to read from the helm.

Who it is for

Racing and cruising sailors with an NMEA 2000 instrument network.

How it was built

A native Android app, now being ported to iOS. It reads the boat’s network over WiFi, through a bridge or the chartplotter, and derives true and apparent wind streams. Designed and coded with AI coding agents.
