In my day job I invest in, and coach, tech startups. Many entrepreneurs I meet are working with AI an image/video recognition. Naturally, those technologies can be used onboard as well as in cars or surveillance, and that’s what BSB Artificial intelligence has done with Oscar. As you can see from the video above the system […]
I might as well admit it: I’m an instrument sailor đ On the J/111 we did our homework and ended up with a B&G H5000 system (background). And when we got an older Dominant Race Special on loan for the summer, we were a bit lost without numbers. So when Sailmon wanted us to test […]
Jag sprang pĂ„ Anemomind pĂ„ METS 2015. De hade skrivit mjukvara och byggt burkar för att samla data frĂ„n segling som bearbetades i molnet och sedan kunde hanteras av an app. Snyggt tĂ€nkt, Ă€ven om detta Ă€r en liten marknad full med entusiaster (ex SailMon, Racegeek, Vakaros och nĂ„gra till). Nu har man fastnat lite […]
Sjukt mycket bra content som bĂ„de segelmakare och andra levererar just nu. Man hoppas att de fortsĂ€tter Ă€ven efter att de fĂ„r börja segla igen… Quantum Racing helmsman Ed Baird chats with Michele Ivaldi to look at what it takes to be successful as a navigator at such a high level. The pair will also […]
Veckans lĂ€sarfrĂ„ga: Ska installera WiFi-nĂ€tverk; mastantenn, ledning i masten, router. Har du nĂ„gra bra tips? Lösningen vi kör pĂ„ Blur har sett likadan ett tag, sĂ„ det borde finnas bĂ€ttre sĂ€tt? Vi kör en Dovado Tiny AC-router som skapar ett lokalt WiFi ombord. Denna ansluter i sin tur till en liten Telia 4G-puck (HUAWEI E5576), till […]
StSS har ett samarbete med NV Charts dĂ€r man gratis kan ladda ner sjökort för racet. Och deras app. Man brukar ju fĂ„ papperskort ocksĂ„ nĂ€r man registrerar sig. Bra i Ă„r dĂ„ vi skall segla IOD utan vare sig plotter eller Expedition :-) Jag har ocksĂ„ gillat deras Atlas-“bundle” dĂ€r man bĂ„de fĂ„r bĂ„tsportkort […]
NĂ€r man seglar lĂ€ngre race pĂ„ havet, sĂ„ blir det ju viktigt att kunna analysera vĂ€dret pĂ„ rĂ€tt sött. Vi har ju fĂ„tt massor av verktyg de senaste Ă„ren, och tillgĂ„ngen till bra vĂ€derinformation ökar hela tiden. Och routing-funktionalitet finns inte bara i avancerade program som Adrena eller Expedition, utan i mĂ„nga appar och nya […]
Veckans lĂ€sarfrĂ„ga: Hej. NĂ„gon som kan bistĂ„ mig med tekniska rĂ„d. Har i pĂ„sk seglat ner frĂ„n Svinninge till Oxelösund, yttervĂ€gen, lite vind tidvis med motor. HĂ€ftig kĂ€nsla o ligga över 6 knop pĂ„ kryss i lĂ€gre vindstyrkor o Ă€ndĂ„ var inte 3Dl genuan med i bĂ„ten⊠Nu till min frĂ„ga. I bĂ„ten sitter en […]
As happy as you are looking at a pile of packages containing new instruments, it does make you a little nervous about the installation. Martin Gadman from Happy Yachting and I committed a full day to make the most of his knowledge. Before that, I had done most of the time-consuming jobs running the wiring […]
Dream team! Patrik MĂ„neskiöld is the navigator on Blur, Johan Barne is a guru when it comes to instruments and data analytics, and Martin Gadman runs Happy Yachting and is the one who installed the instruments with me. We spent an afternoon getting the calibration sorted. This article is a translation of this one from […]
Blur at the start of the Midsummer Solo Challenge 2018. Photo: Search Magazine. This is an English version of an article published in September 2018. Sailing is a technical sport. But it’s frustrating when the technology demands time and effort to manage, without giving you benefits youâre looking for. Autopilots are one such area, where […]
I en annan trĂ„d kom frĂ„gan om navigation och surfplattor upp, sĂ„ jag tĂ€nkte det var lĂ€ge att gĂ„ igenom hur vĂ„r ser ut. Ăr det nĂ„gon som har koll pĂ„ vilken surfplatta, abonnemang och navigations app man bör satsa pĂ„ inför 2019 Ă„rs kappsegling? TĂ€ckning strĂ€ckan Göteborg-Strömstad extra viktig. LĂ€ste nĂ„got om att plattan […]
