## What is Close Reach?

Sailors have always looked after each other. A hand on a line, a spare part
passed across the water, somebody who has anchored here before and knows
where the holding is good. It is the oldest habit on the water, and it only
works when the person who can help knows you need it.

Close Reach connects sailors. When something breaks at anchor, when you need
a tool, a part, or a hand, create a Wave. It reaches the nearest sailors and
shops, and it keeps rippling wider until someone can help.

HOW IT WORKS
Create a Wave for what you need: a 12 mm socket for an hour, a diesel
mechanic, a spare impeller. Photos ride the Wave so helpers see the problem
before they reach out. Nearby sailors who can help see it first.

Someone reaches out, you choose to connect, and the conversation moves to
WhatsApp. Phone numbers are shared only when both sides agree. When it is
done, close the Wave and rate the help.

NOT JUST REPAIRS
Social Waves gather company: sundowners on the breakwater, a diesel run into
town, a second pair of eyes on the rigging before a crossing.

EXPLORE
See every open Wave around you on the chart or in the list, with the sailors
and shops in the vicinity. Point it at any bay, marina, or island to see what
is happening there.

COMMS
Only the Waves that concern you: what you created, what you reached out on,
what landed nearby. No feed, no noise.

FOR SHOPS AND PROS
Claim your listing or add your business. Close Reach Pro puts your shop at
the top of Explore, on the chart with WhatsApp one tap away, and nearby Waves
that match what you do land in your Comms.

BUILT FOR THE WATER
Positions are anchorages and marinas, distances are nautical miles, and
nothing about your position is shared beyond what a Wave needs.
