Meet Shimbiri.

A lifetime in corporate tech, and two feet of boat manuals I could never find the right page in. Four daughters who inspire everything, even the name: Skye, Hudson, Madilyn, Blake. Shimbiri.

It began as a way to solve my own frustrations. It’s grown from a document reader into a crew that links every manual to every sensor to every pattern: one that found a fault in our own autopilot, talked a skipper through a flood, and guided us through the certifications for the Sydney–Hobart.

The point was never the technology. It’s to turn the complexity of a boat into capability: easier to operate, less to worry about, and far more enjoyable to own.

Most marine software ships and stops. This one’s been on watch.

Beneath the apps is Shimbiri Evolution™ (an adaptive layer, built and proven on Shimbiri, the vessel) that gets better at the job the longer it runs. Shimbiri Evolution is the reason the crew behave like crew, not dashboards: they adapt to how you actually run her, instead of making you adapt to them.

Give it time and Shimbiri Evolution learns your boat: the alerts you wave off, the way you reef, the routine you keep. Then it shapes itself around them. Nothing hand-coded. The longer it runs, the better it knows your boat and the way you sail her.
