### 5/5 — Geniales Tool

*2026-07-18*

Die App ist genau die Unterstützung die ich gebraucht habe, um bei den komplexen Themen und Anforderungen die Skipper bei der Törn Planung, bei der Übernahme einer fremden Yacht und dem Anheuern einer neuen Crew die Übersicht zu behalten. 
An alles ist gedacht und alle Funktionen sind einfach zu bedienen.
Die App ist super übersichtlich gestaltet, enthält alle Details und ist nicht mit irrelevanten Informationen überladen.
Besonders gespannt war ich auf die Routen Planung mit dem Kartenmaterial ohne Details wie WT  Sperrgebiete etc. Dank der einwandfrei funktionierenden Import-Funktion zu iSailor ist es möglich, die Route in die aktuellen detaillierten Seekarten zu übertragen und sie dort zu bearbeiten, so daß sie save gefahren werden können. Auch die anderen Voreinstellungen bei der Routenplanung sind absolut Praxis -orientiert, zB kann man mit Hilfe des internen Ansicht der Wetterprognose von Windy in etwa schätzen wieviel sm man unter Segeln zurücklegen kann, wahlweise auch wieviel Prozent der Strecke. Sprit Bedarf und empfohlene Reserve wird dann automatisch angepasst, auch unter Berücksichtigung des Fahrt-Gebiets (Küstennah oder Offshore)
Wieviel Zeit und Nerven  wir sparen wenn anhand der Qualifikationen der Crew ein Wachplan erstellt wird, die Sicherheits-Einweisung und sogar eine Proviant Liste übersichtlich gestaltet vorhanden sind, alles nur ausgedruckt und abgearbeitet werden muss braucht hier nicht weiter erwähnt zu werden.
Die Tools für unterwegs, Logbuch Manöver… werde ich in den kommenden Wochen testen meine Rezension komplettieren.
Bis jetzt erstmal Dankeschön an die Entwickler - ich freue mich auf die Arbeit mit YachtLog🌏🌍🌎⛵️
