## What is Keelyr?

Keelyr helps a first-year sailboat owner turn an unfamiliar boat into a safer, documented, maintainable one.

Buying a used yacht or catamaran hands you a vessel you do not fully know yet. The survey covered some of it, the manuals a little more. The engine, the rigging, the seacocks, and the last owner's shortcuts you tend to discover as you go. Keelyr replaces that guesswork with a plan built around your exact boat.

Answer a few questions about your vessel, its systems, and how it has been used, and Keelyr generates a prioritised first-90-days programme. It sequences the whole first year, from your first week aboard to your first haul-out and first season. Safety-critical work is marked in red and stays at the top of every list. Jobs you can do yourself are labelled separately from jobs that need a professional.

What you can do with Keelyr:

- Onboard your vessel in a few guided steps, including monohull or catamaran, and whether it came out of charter.
- See today's priorities sorted red, amber, and green.
- Work a task list tailored to your boat, each task with plain-language steps and a DIY or professional label.
- Log maintenance as you finish it, record engine hours, and let the next service schedule itself.
- Run pre-departure, storm, cyclone and lay-up checklists on your phone at the marina. A failed check raises a follow-up automatically.
- Read the known-issue watchlist for your make and model, researched from real sources and checked by a curator before you see it.
- Get advisory weather awareness for your berth, with preparation prompts when conditions build.

Who it is for:

New owners of a monohull or catamaran who want to sail with their family safely, without becoming a marine engineer first. It suits weekend coastal sailors, aspiring cruisers, and anyone taking on an older or ex-charter boat with a patchy service history.

How the advice works:

Task recommendations come from a fixed, transparent rule set driven by your vessel's systems and history, so the same boat always produces the same safety-critical list. AI assists only with optional extras such as photo triage; it never decides what maintenance your boat needs.
