Add boats, fill in their details, link trips to them, filter by boat, and delete a boat without losing its trips.
Each trip is linked to one of your boats, and its polar, sails and reefs follow that link. Boats are free, in any number.
Adding a boat
- Open Settings and find “Boats”, or tap the round boat picture below the settings gear on the home map.
- Swipe to the last card and tap “New boat”.
- Enter the details. Every change saves as you type.
The boat's details
Tap the info button on a card to open the boat's page, then tap “Edit details”.
- “Length” sets the anchor detection radius, three times the hull length.
- “Sails” and “Reefs”, on sailboats only, are offered when you log sail changes and reefing. Starred sails come preselected.
- “Registration” and the builder and model under “Specs” are printed on mileage certificates.
The boat's page
- “Engine hours” adds up the engine time detected on the boat's trips. Tap the row to enter your hour meter's reading. Later trips count on top.
- “Polar chart”, on sailboats, is the boat's polar, part of Manta Pro.
- “Last known tank levels” shows your tanks at the end of a recent trip. It needs connected instruments that report them.
Several boats
Your next recording uses the selected boat. A new boat is selected at once. Tap a card to select another, or tap “Use for the next recording” on its page.
Changing a trip's boat
- One trip: open it and tap the boat card, or choose “Boat…” in the ⋯ menu. Then tap a boat.
- Several trips: choose “Select…” in the ⋯ menu of your trips list, select the trips and tap the sailboat button in the bottom bar. It appears only with more than one boat.
A trip keeps the name its boat had when linked. After renaming a boat, pick it again on the trip.
Filtering trips by boat
Tap the filter button next to the ⋯ menu of your trips list and choose a boat under “Boat”. The map and the list follow. A deleted boat with kept trips stays listed. A boat without a name does not appear.
Deleting a boat
Open the boat's page and tap “Delete boat”. Your last boat cannot be deleted. If the boat has trips, you choose:
- “Move trips to another boat…” links the trips to a boat you pick.
- “Delete and keep trips” leaves them as they are, under the deleted boat's name.
Restoring a deleted boat
A boat comes back through a trip you kept. Open the trip, choose “Boat…” and tap “Add to boats”. Its other kept trips link to it again. Only the name, type and length return, along with the photo within 30 days. A boat with no kept trips cannot be restored in the app.
