Logbook Suite is a user-friendly software from yachtsmen for yachtsmen (both sailors and motorboaters) — Made in Germany. Logbook Suite includes a digital Logbook and the Logbook Add-ons, a selection of useful tools, with which you can manage tasks around your ship and your travels on yachts. Logbook replaces the handwritten logbook on sailing and motor yachts. Yacht owners from over 40 different flag states are using Logbook on all oceans and numerous inland waterways. More and more skipper of charter yachts love the digital capture of their trips. The software is in the market since 2011 and is continuously updated and further developed—since 2016 also available as app for iPad. The user interface of the Logbook differs from other digital logbooks because it is orientated by the traditional, hand-written logbook. Instead of computer-technical input masks you get pages with a practice-oriented layout which makes it easier to enter all relevant data into the logbook. The Logbook in Logbook Suite works completely without internet access. When you use the Logbook on an iPad Cellular the actual position can be read from the iPad's GPS. And if you connect a NMEA onboard network to your iPad, Logbook can read the nautical data and enter them automatically into the logbook. Logbook Suite is suited best for skippers who have used printed logbooks up to now, but want to make use of the advantages of a digital logbook. These are — in addition to the optional automatic recording of navigation data — for example the automatic analysis of the nautical data. Using the trips and the overview Logbook automatically calculates for relevant data totals as well as average values—both for every day, for a whole trip and for all entries in the logbook. Of course your logbook can be printed. Hence you can make a printed logbook for you and your crew to keep the trip in memory. During the journey you can enter the nautical data in Logbook just like in the traditional logbook on paper. It is up to you how often and how detailed you type in your information. Or let Logbook enter the data automatically. Logbook provides for each day a page with several tabs for the nautical information and for weather information, technical notes as well as for your personal diary with photos. Besides, Logbook offers a special view where you can put in detailed information on your yacht. This makes it easier to find all important information when needed. Thus the navigation data can be entered easily even under worse conditions Logbook presents a special view with large fields for data entry while cruising. Logbook Suite currently contains 10 Add-ons: • Biography – your maritime biography • Crew – crew data, immigration forms, agreements • BoardCash – your digital cash box • Budget – keep track of the costs of your ship • First-Aid Kit – first aid without having to search in the medicine box • Inventory – keep track of your ship's storage • Maintenance – the maintenance book for your ship • Provisions - simple planning of provisions • Scheduler – the visual planner for voyages and maintenance • WorldEnsigns – a visual encyclopedia of naval ensigns The Logbook Suite user interface is available in German, English, Dutch and Swedish, Logbook and some modules are also available in French and Spanish.

Slipstream Draft is an independent fantasy racing app built for fans who want a true draft-based league experience while following the 2026 International Grand Prix season. Create a league with friends, run live drafts spaced throughout the year, build your roster from a limited pool of drivers and constructors, and compete across the season using real race results. Unlike salary-cap fantasy games, Slipstream Draft is designed around drafting strategy, roster scarcity, league player interaction, free-agent trades, and commissioner-led leagues. Straightforward scoring means players aren't guessing how real-world races will translate to league results. HOW IT WORKS. Choose a commissioner in your group to create a league. Each league holds a live snake draft to start the season, and three more throughout the racing year. During a live draft, you and your league members take turns selecting drivers and constructors from the full grid. Once someone is drafted, they're off the board. Build the best roster you can — then manage it all season with timely trades for free agents and improvements in subsequent live drafts. CORE FEATURES: • Live Draft Room — Host a real-time live snake draft with your league. Pick your drivers and constructors in order, just like fantasy football or fantasy basketball. • Full Season Scoring — Your team roster scores points every race weekend based on real-world Grand Prix results. • Free Agent Trades — Pick up undrafted drivers or drop underperformers via a free agent wire throughout the season. Strategy doesn't end on draft day. • Commissioner Controls — Create and fully customize your league. Set draft order, configure drafting rules, rename assets, and manage your league like a pro. • League Chat — Trash talk, strategy, and commentary with your league members in the built-in chat. • Live Standings — Watch your league standings update automatically after every race, and replay season score development. • Public & Private Leagues — Join an open public league or create a private league just for your crew, your workplace, or your friend group. • 24-Race Season — Follow the full Grand Prix racing calendar from the opening race to the finale. Miss the opening races? No problem! Start a new league today, set your group's first draft, and seamlessly jump into the 2026 season. • Fully customizable driver and constructor asset naming in league setup. • Built for fans of world-class open-wheel Grand Prix racing. COMMISSIONER FEATURES. Commissioners get full league control. Customize driver and constructor names, set draft dates and times, auto/manual starts, set league policies, and run the drafts from start to finish.

Whether you are starting a private league with friends or joining a competitive public league, Slipstream Draft gives Grand Prix open-wheel racing fans a true fantasy format built around drafting, team strategy, and season-long competition.
