Weather intelligence built for the water, by professional sailors. ANORAC reads the next 24 hours against your own limits and tells you what matters.
Weather intelligence built for the water, by professional sailors. ANORAC reads the next 24 hours against your own limits and tells you what matters, instead of showing you more numbers.
The Hub
The next 24 hours judged against your limits, the week ahead, and what is around you within 15 nm: rain, gusts and storm energy, with direction, distance and time. Each day has its own page, and a storm page opens when storm energy is forecast.
Your limits
Set what counts as rough for you: wind, gust, rain and temperature. Every colour in ANORAC is judged against them.
- Green: inside your limits.
- Amber: close to a limit.
- Red: over a limit.
- Grey: can't be judged, because data is missing. Grey never means calm.
Cruise Planner
When to leave, and what you'll meet at each stop of the week.
Local Knowledge and Capture
Notes, photos and contacts hung off real harbours and anchorages. Photos are stamped with the place and the conditions when you take them.
Sharing and Collections
Send a place, a plan or what you know to your crew, and withdraw it when you like. Charter companies and sailing schools can send their own knowledge to the crews who sail with them.
Anchor watch
Set the swing circle and ANORAC watches the boat at anchor, sounding an alarm if it moves outside. The alarm uses your phone's alarm volume, so it needs to be turned up. On iPhone, keep ANORAC open while the watch runs.

A new ANORAC.
The Hub now tells you what matters in the next 24 hours, judged against your own limits, with a page for each day, a storm page, and what is around you within 15 nm.
Also new: the Cruise Planner, Local Knowledge, Collections and sharing.
Two plans: Free and Marine.
