Latest Release
AditSail now has two new features making it worth an upgrade for all existing users:


* 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.
