SailWare & FishWare

Crusie 32 C - CMap NT+ Software

CRUISE32C is developed with 32 bit technology for the best performance with new Microsoft operating systems.

CRUISE32C supports C-MAP NT+/PC, C-MAP NT+ (drive C-CARD USB that allow using plotter cartridge too) cartography.

CRUISE32C is the basic package of SailWare line and is mainly intended for powerboaters. It offers much more than a normal plotter providing the navigator with simple and real time information, boat position, track and tools for checking and recalculating plans rapidly

At a glance, on the main screen, SailWare CRUISE32C provides the user with a highly detailed view of the navigating area, while the boat marker continually shows the position - either from GPS or dead reckoned. Heading, boat speed, depth and whatever variable available from the instrument system can be represented both on digital readouts or analogue indicators.

SailWare CRUISE32C allows easy and safe route planning: enter waypoints just using simple mouse clicks and the program will immediately construct a route, computing bearings, distances and estimated time to arrival. A powerful "Tools Box" enables the user to personalise any chart to mark favoured anchorage, dive sites, route plans, etc. or include updated notices. Overlay data are totally independent from the chart displayed: as the user changes charts or zoom level, the data remain in the correct position. Data are automatically written to a log file on the computer harddisk for later replay or review. Easy and intuitive user interface allows to customise the system in order meet user preferences as language, measure units, chart colour palette, etc.

Cruise 32 N - Navionics Gold Software

CRUISE32N is developed with 32 bit technology for the best performance with new Microsoft operating systems.

CRUISE32N supports NAVIONICS GOLD cartography.

At a glance, on the main screen, SailWare CRUISES32C provides the user with a highly detailed view of the navigating area, while the boat marker continually shows the position - either from GPS or dead reckoned. Heading, boat speed, depth and any other variable available from the instrument system can be represented both on digital readouts or analogue indicators. SailWare CRUISES32C offers a graphical representation of wind direction and speed, course to next waypoint and, if the current leg is not a reach, the beating or running area.

SailWare CRUISES32C allows easy and safe route planning: enter waypoints just using simple mouse clicks and the program will immediately construct a route, computing bearings, distances and estimated time to arrival.

A powerful "Tools Box" enables the user to personalise any chart to mark favoured anchor-age, dive sites, route plans, etc. or include updated notices. Overlay data are totally independent from the chart displayed: as the user changes charts or zoom level, the data remain in the correct position.

Cruise 32 RACE C - C-Map NT+ Yacht Racing Software

RACE32C is developed with 32 bit technology for the best performance with new Microsoft operating systems.

RACE32C supports C-MAP NT+/PC, C-MAP NT+ (drive C-CARD USB that allow using plotter cartdridge too) cartography.

RACE32C represents the racing and enhanced version of SailWare CRUISES32C.

SailWare, thanks to the collaboration of experienced racing sailors, has developed an highly sophisticated package that helps crews in planning tactics, sail trimming and improving boat performance, as it is capable of producing complex solutions at a glance, based on previous vessel performance and weather data.

SailWare RACE32C provides polar tables as well as graphic displays of the best range of use of the sails, helping the tactician to find cross-over conditions and call for sail change.

Polars, i.e. boat speeds that may be achieved for a given true wind speed and direction in specific sea conditions, are used for several purposes: by comparing the boat's speed with its target speed, the crew can quickly know if they are getting the best out of the boat at any time; also, to perform any kind of predictive navigation calculations, such as the course to steer on a given leg. Although polars can be derived by calculation from design drawings, or by scaling the polars from a similar boat, the results are unlikely to be sufficiently accurate. The only way to get accurate polars is to invest the time and effort needed to build them over the entire range of wind conditions; this task is made much easier with the extensive polar table manipulation facilities built into SailWare RACE32C.

SailWare racing version is also capable of updating polar tables automatically.

SailWare RACE32C sets up calibration values for the instruments. The program will carry out all the necessary calculations for calibrating the log and the mast-head unit offset; it will also calculate the correction to be made to the wind speed and angle for heel and upwash. These corrections are of greater precision than those provided in sailing instruments.

SailWare RACE32C provides also a graphical display of the sailing area with the destination mark at the top of the screen and the boat at the bottom.

Fish 32 C  - C-Map NT +  Professional Fishing Software

 

Fish 32 N  - Navionics Gold Professional Fishing Software

FISH32C and Fish 32N are developed with 32 bit technology for the best performance with new Microsoft operating systems.

FISH32C supports C-MAP NT+/PC, C-MAP NT+ (drive C-CARD USB that allow using plotter cartdridge too) cartography.

FISH32N supports NAVIONICS GOLD cartography

Last born inside the Fishware line and specially designed for the professional fishermen, FISH32C  has been developed on the experience of more than 200 FISH packages already sold and following suggestions from deep-sea fishermen.

User interface has been completely redrawn in order to make much more easier and friendly the use of the package. All the essential navigation functions can be quickly accessed selecting the relevant buttons on the tool bar.

Two lines, one horizontal and one vertical, indicate the mouse cursor position on the chart. 

The menu bar, as well as the scroll bars can be hidden, thus leaving a bigger screen area for displaying the chart.

Managing routes and tracks is now simple and comprehensive: user can set a new route even when navigating, starting from the current route. The Go To function allows to create a quick route with a simple click of the mouse on the chart displayed.

Real time vessel position is displayed on the screen and the track can be overlaid on the chart with different colours representing different values of trawling speed and depth.

Speed and depth can be also viewed as graph-plots which can be superimposed to the main FISH32C screen.

Use can enter fishing areas (with different shapes) and associate names, colours and alarm conditions to each of them.

Storing markers now is as easy as clicking a keyboard key as the user can associate each single function key of the computer to a different type of event.

User can set up to four targets and FISH32 will display real time range and bearing from the vessel position on a floating panel.

The heading vector is now displayed with a line - separated from the one indicating the C.O.G. - whose length is adjusted according to the speed of the vessel.

The software can manage up to 10 serial ports, merging together data coming from different instruments; for each communication port, user can select the set of data he wants to read as well as the data he wants to send to external instruments such as autopilots.

Vocal messages - user defined - can be associated to any data when setting an alarm condition.

 

AddOns

APRA
It allows the connection to ARPA radar (included in Fish32C, Fish32N, FishPro)

External Data Import
To import data from external source (only for FishWare products).

Meteo
This module allows the user to access major meteorological information supplied by an external source as GRIB files. The METEO module can be added to any SW&N package (both SailWare and FishWare lines) with the exception of SailWare.

Auto Routing
Aimed mainly at sailors – it is an obvious add on for the METEO package, as the access to the complete meteorological information provided by such packages together with the boat's polar curves offer a strategic passage simulation service enabling navigators to faster and more precise routing. The ROUTAGE add on can be combined with SailWare CRUISE "S" or RACE (providing the METEO add on is already installed).

Palm Connect
It allows bi-directional wireless BLUETOOTH connection between PC and a PDA with SailPalm software (ver. 2.0 or sup.). It allows information exchange like instrument data, markers, alarms, active waypoint, M.O.B., etc.
