Nautical Calculator download instructions:

Click on this link or one above. This will then save a self-extracting ZIP file on your PC named nav11.exe .

Then click on this file and follow the simple instructions to unzip it.

You will then have two files named NC011.html and NC011.swf. Both of these files need to be copied into the same folder on your mobile device.

Then simply select the "html" file to run the programme in a browser or the "swf" file to run as a stand-alone flash application. You should be able to run the application on your PC or Laptop and therefore know what to expect when it is running. We hope you find it very useful when sailing.

Whilst we cannot commit ourselves to provide support for this 'free' flash application, we will try to respond to technical enquiries where possible.

Note: This application is not intended to take the place of a chart and pencil, but is intended merely for use as a useful aid to navigation and as such we can accept no liability regarding its use or accuracy.
