Same crew. Your world.
The crew is the same for everyone. What changes is the rulebook it works to. Compliance is the variable; the intelligence is shared.
Is she still where you left her? You shouldn’t need four apps open to sleep through the night.
Start free with the apps you already know, and let the boat keep watch. Light on red tape: state safety gear, not a survey regime. (Recreational fishing & power-boating live here too.)
A night at anchor: the watch wakes you the moment she starts to move.
Can I set an anchor alarm? →The audit’s next week and you’re chasing expiry dates across a spreadsheet at midnight.
The Cat 1 audit, assembled for you: 6 pages, 150+ items, signed off, expiries tracked.
Guided through the Cat 1 certifications, then a Division 1 win in the 80th Sydney–Hobart.
What’s on the Cat 1 audit? →The survey’s due, the safety rules changed again, and making it all true still lands on you.
AMSA survey, Certificate of Operation and your SMS, plus the Marine Order 504 changes that landed 1 June 2025.
Includes commercial fishing (AMSA Class 3).
Survey, Certificate of Operation and SMS, kept true as the rules changed underneath.
What changed in Marine Order 504? →Every vessel, every certificate, one standard. And nowhere that says the whole fleet is ready.
The aim: one safety standard across a whole fleet, the same rulebook for every vessel. Today the commercial crew runs vessel by vessel. The fleet rollup is in build, not live yet.
Coming: the fleet view is in build. Early access open.
Where it’s heading: one standard across the fleet, built on the commercial rulebook that runs today, one vessel at a time.
What does an SMS need? →Four doors. The same crew behind every one.

The preparation a funded campaign pays for, an hour before the start.
Load the sailing instructions, and the course lands on your chartplotter with a real briefing: wind, tide and the local effects, grounded in your boat and today’s conditions. Not a generic answer; the same source data the professional teams pay for, working for you. We think that makes good sailing cheaper, more available, and competition fairer.
“We had 25 GPS devices aboard, yet the race still needs an independent tracker strapped on. That’s nobody’s fault; it’s just how clubs have always got a position they can trust. But Shimbiri already produces everything the committee needs, so that cost doesn’t have to exist anymore. And that’s just the start: every wall we lower, every cost we strip out, is one more crew that gets to make the start line.”
