8. PEOPLE : SOS / PAN-PAN
• This will only work if you are at sea or on a large body of water.
• Twoater generates the message from calculated and supplied info.
• It then (depending on free/paid version) :
o Creates an SMS from this message defaulting to the phone
number of your SOS Buddy
o Generates a Twoat message for everyone in Twoater to see
o Sends a notification to up to 50 people around you
o Provides real-time bearing and distance information to anyone
that opens the message

9. PEOPLE : TRIP PLANNING
When you are planning your sailing trip, use Twoater to get real-time,
relevant, information about the places you want to visit & keep up-to-date
with what is happening in these destinations
• Look at the ports you are interested in and review their ‘real time
pilot like guide’
• Follow these ports
• Create a Twoat Search ‘Around’ each destination and save it.
• Whenever you re-open the search you will see the latest Twoats in
that area giving you the latest on the ground info. Eg. Re-open the
search the day before you sail to each of these destinations.

10. PEOPLE : BOAT SUPPORT/MAINT.
You have just sailed from Sardinia to Palma, 4 days into a force 6, on the
nose. You are 10 miles from Port, use Twoater to :
• Find the local sail repair person – get them to meet you as you arrive
• Find the boat cleaning person – get them to meet you as you arrive
• Find the restaurant that people are talking about and reserve a table
• Find ‘the bar’ to hit the minute you hit the dock
• As soon as you are tied up, with help from the people waiting to
cater to your needs, spend an hour briefing them, hand-over the
keys and then walk off to that bar / restaurant, and relax after a long
hard sail, safe in the knowledge that your boat is being brought back
into shape

11. PORTS/HARBOURS/MARINAS: ‘PILOT-LIKE
GUIDE’
Every boat owns a physical Pilot Guide for each areas they sail in. These
are invaluable for every sailor to reach port safely.
The information in these guides is static.
Twoater provides PHMs with the ability to replicate the content of a
pilot guide in 5 minutes, and to change and update this information
whenever they want.

12. PORTS/HARBOURS/MARINAS:
COMMUNICATIONS
Offer your customers a new mobile service, dedicated to the boating
community
• Use Twoater to provide daily communications to your local (and
wider) sailing community. Eg. Local Weather Forecast each day, Raise
a Twoat when no more Visitor berths available, or to promote an
event you are organising
• Keep an eye on local Twoats and what is happening around you
• Be notified about SOS / PAN-PANs around you
• Have conversations with local Twoaters, eg. People requesting a
berth
