The Sailing Expert application serves as a comprehensive tool for sailors, offering capabilities that enhance navigation, manage regattas, and assist in logbook maintenance. It provides weather forecasts and a maintenance log for various boats, among other functionalities.

The application utilizes device sensors to automatically populate log entries, recording data such as location, Course Over Ground (COG), Speed Over Ground (SOG), temperature, and pressure. When a WiFi NMEA provider is available, it can leverage boat sensors instead, supporting both TCP and UDP protocols.

A companion app for Wear OS smartwatches displays instrument information directly on the wrist, further enhancing user convenience.
