    Anchor Scope & Holding Calculator

    Check required scope and estimate holding confidence for anchoring setup.

    Evaluate anchoring setup with depth, bow height, deployed rode, wind, and bottom type. Useful for anchorage planning to confirm scope requirements and identify higher-risk holding conditions.

    COLREGs Encounter Classifier

    Classify head-on, crossing, or overtaking geometry from bearing/course data.

    Provide quick encounter classification from own course, target course, and relative bearing. Useful for training and bridge-team scenario review. Output is advisory only and should never replace proper COLREGs application and lookout.

    CPA/TCPA Risk Calculator

    Compute closest point of approach and time to CPA with risk banding.

    Calculate CPA and TCPA from ownship and target kinematics using relative motion vectors. Useful for watchstanding support and collision-risk triage when evaluating multiple contacts.

    Drift Estimator

    Estimate set-and-drift impact on course over ground and offset.

    Combine vessel heading/speed with current and wind drift vectors to estimate course over ground, speed over ground, and accumulated position offset. Useful for pilotage and small-vessel planning where environmental set can significantly change track over time.

    ETA Current/Wind Compensation Calculator

    Estimate ETA delay from current and wind speed penalties.

    Adjust calm-water ETA by combining current component and wind-related speed penalty. Useful for passage updates and operational timing when environmental conditions reduce effective speed.

    Fuel Endurance + Reserve Calculator

    Calculate endurance and range after applying reserve fuel policy.

    Plan voyage endurance from usable fuel, burn rate, reserve percentage, and cruise speed. Useful for coastal and offshore planning where reserve policy must be explicit before departure.

    Great Circle vs Rhumb Line Calculator

    Compare great-circle and rhumb-line distance, bearing, and ETA.

    Compute both great-circle and rhumb-line route metrics between two coordinates. Useful for offshore route planning and voyage briefing when deciding between shortest-distance routing and constant-bearing simplicity.

    Tide Window Planner

    Estimate passable tidal windows around high tide for draft-limited transits.

    Model a practical tide window from high/low tide heights, charted depth, vessel draft, and safety margin. Useful for bar crossings, marina entries, and shallow-channel planning where timing around high tide matters. The tool estimates available transit duration around high water using a semidiurnal approximation.

    Turning Circle / Advance / Transfer Estimator

    Estimate turning radius, tactical diameter, advance, and transfer.

    Generate first-pass turning characteristics from speed, rudder angle, and vessel length. Useful for maneuvering briefings and pilot exchange preparation when full sea-trial data is unavailable.

    Under Keel Clearance Calculator

    Assess UKC using depth, tide, squat, wave allowance, and safety margin.

    Estimate under keel clearance for channels and port approaches by combining charted depth, tide height, vessel draft, squat, and operational margins. Useful for go/no-go checks during shallow-water transits.
