Shimbiri

Connecting…

finding the boat…

One system, the whole passage

It sails the whole passage with you.

Plan

Ask for a passage like you’d ask a navigator: a real, weather-aware route on your chart, edited with a finger.

Wind, tide and layline stay in front of you, no menus to dig through: the same live picture the AI works from.

Watch

Depth, wind, battery and engine, watched continuously: the boat keeps an eye on itself so you don’t have to.

Adapt

It watches every new forecast and tells you when to change course or wait, so the plan stays alive for the whole trip.

The part no one else does. It advises and shows why; you decide.

Why Shimbiri

Every tool here is brilliant at its piece. None of them know you.

“Punching a coastal passage into ChatGPT looks clever if you don’t know the technology, and amateurish if you do. The answer comes back brilliant, but it doesn’t know you, your boat, or today’s conditions, and it can’t. Officer is what gives the AI that picture. Then it’s genuinely useful on the water.”

Proven at sea

The same crew won PHS Division 1 in the 80th Sydney–Hobart.

Built and proven on this boat, in real conditions; the Officer that briefed those watches is the same one you run on your own boat.

The Purser

A flood aboard

→ photographed it, asked how to fix it, got walked through it

The Chief Engineer

A hidden CAN-bus fault

→ found in the autopilot data, saved thousands

The Officer

Racing up the Derwent

→ the call to tack, and the data to convince the crew
