First Mate for Android

11 things about First Mate

1. First Mate is the first app using advanced Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering calculations and tow tank test data to provide you with vessel duration, range, and engine output without the need for expensive integrated management systems.

2. The “Dashboard” tab provides the user with all the information to estimate range based on the speed, weight, and current fuel readings.

3. • During trip or for trip planning, user only inputs wind speed, fuel, and vessel speed.

4. Integrated management systems can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, require installation, and only provide basic information about engine performance and maintenance.

5. If you want to know how an engine or propeller upgrade will change the performance of the vessel, the app can do the calculations for you.

6. • User can customize or update output after making changes to vessel or propulsion system.

7. • User can update app with new vessel specifications after buying a new boat.

8. • User inputs the vessel and engine specifications.

9. • User input is saved on device but make a printout for backup and keep in vessel log.

10. First Mate is a robust app that accounts for drag, weight, and engine performance to accurately plan excursions and spontaneously change plans while underway.

11. If you are in the market for a boat, want to build a custom boat, or modify an existing hull, use the app to estimate displacement, range, required fuel capacity, and horsepower.
