The crew
The story behind Ready4Sea, is all about two couples teaming up, a sabbatical year on board and a circumnavigation .
Two mechanical engineers, who work in shipyards and in industrial optimisation joined forces with an IT engineer. Throw in an accountant turned web designer and the entire crew is ready to sail.
Our mission
For want of a better solution, we had each developed our own Excel spreadsheets to track the maintenance of our respective boats. And that’s how the idea came about… To provide all boaters with a simple and effective tool to ensure that they can sail with confidence, knowing that their boat is well maintained.
With the Ready4Sea application, everyone will be able to have their boat maintenance schedule with them at all times, on their smartphone.
The navigation area
We are based in Southern Brittany, between the ports of Concarneau and Le Bono, each just a few hundred metres from the water, and smack in the middle of the French Atlantic coastline.
However, the application is in no way limited by geography, as it can be used anywhere, and eventually offline for those who are away from the Internet.
