Gone are the days when only the boats with America’s Cup budgets have sophisticated sailing instrumentation. Avia Sail offers this functionality to the everyday sailor. Our software application connects to onboard instruments or sensors and gives you the displays and instrumentation not previously available. Consider for example out real-time current calculator which shows you second by second the strength and direction of the current. Or, our Wind/Polar display that lets you sail your boat to the predicted target speeds specific to the heading, wind speed and sail combination. Compliment to other Navigational Systems With our Custom Dashboard Avia Sail offers over 20 different instruments to choose from so you can configure a dashboard that exactly meets your needs. Also, unique to other programs Avia can be seen and accessible even when other applications are maximized on the screen. This, with the ability to pass sensor data to other programs, Avia Sail is the perfect addition to enhance your charting application.
Network Enabled
Avia Sail is a network enabled application allowing you to have multiple displays, so you can have your instruments shown at the navigation station and at the helm or even multiple screens for the helmsman wanting to see a wide selection of instruments.

Avia Sail LITE
The LITE version of Avia Sail provides all of the instruments needed by the casual cruising sailer, and is simple to setup and use. At just $99 it is the lowest cost NMEA 2000 compatible package available.
Avia Sail is now iNavX compatible. iNavX is an iPhone App available for $49.95 on the App Store. I can do charting and repeat NMEA data via WIFI. It works perfectly with Avia Sail.
Avia Sail Lite is just $99
A set of marine instruments with similar capabilities (displays only) would cost $2000 to $3000. Avia Sail runs well using a $300 netbook computer or any Windows XP or newer PC. We recommend Windows 7.
Avia Sail Pro is just $299
Avia Sail Pro adds many features which allow multiple computers onboard, sharing data with charting packages and custom screen layouts with more than 20 instruments to choose from.
