Latest Release
AditSail now has two new features making it worth an upgrade for all existing users:
- Simple but effective wind chill calculator now included with AditSail
- Use AditSail to produce a range of printed documents including a passage log*, a deck log and a navigational worksheet
* In order to meet the legal requirements of SOLAS V, some seagoers (including sea kayakers) are required to prove that passages (however short) have been planned.
A passage log should represent suitable proof.
Who is going to check? Probably no one, until you try and make an insurance claim, or are involved in an incident at sea.
