Detailed description of Victualing App.

Return to previous page



The importance of generating a list of required provisions prior to a sailing passage is essential, and failure to adequately provision for a voyage can have big problems en- route.
 
We have produced an Excel Application which will make this important task easier.
 
Welcome to ‘Victualing List App’, which is not only a great big victualing or provisioning food list but includes many navigation buttons to help you to quickly and easily move around what can be a potentially very long and detailed list.
 
It is a complete yacht provisioning management list and is written as a Microsoft Excel application. It is specifically directed to the victualing of a sailing and/or motor yacht and includes for a small or large crew/passengers and for a short or long passage.

Srores Budget Costings, Srores Categories and Consoles

In a way it is a very big shopping list - but a shopping list with a difference!!!
 
One of the problems with a computer/laptop/tablet shopping list application is that, partially due to the large numbers of items in such a list, it becomes tedious and difficult to manage the list and individual item location, due to the sheer length of the list.
 
Editing lists can be a chore, and the subsequent stocktaking of those items already on board preparatory to making a new victualing list, can be challenging. What we have written is an Microsoft Excel application which is both easy to navigate and to be able to edit individual items, and indeed whole sections of the list, easily and quickly.
 
The ultimate result is to easily print out the list of items required to be purchased for provisioning your boat prior to leaving port. We achieve this by the following:

- Basic Costing for Victualing Budget depending on Crew and Non-Crew on board

We have entries for the following: Number of weeks and/or days of anticipated passage at sea. Number of Crew and Non-crew (passengers) on board. Costing (in various selectable currencies) for meals per person on board (crew and non-crew). Thus, the application will arrive at an automatic Total Minimum Budget for the voyage.
 
Type of Stores: 


We have broken this down into 12 Food section categories as follows:
- Basic Items: (Ref:B) x 86 items.

Global and Local Consoles for Data editing

Covering 32 pages of detail entries, navigating the list in order to select and fill data can be time consuming without the help of Command Buttons which are selectable from the ‘Type of stores’ area and will instantly select and GO TO any of the 12 Food sections.
 
Each and all of the individual food/stores items are editable and there is plenty of space for additional items, or indeed items suggested by us can be changed to suit your specific needs.
 
We have designed additional procedures to help edit the data relating to the complete Victualing List (Global Console actions) and also to help edit the data relating to the individual food categories (Local Console actions).
 
Other command buttons allow instant selection of the main stores area selection, and/or automatic selection of Food Type Selection for Local Console actions, from anywhere within the main Victualing List.

Printing out the individual food categories and/or printing the complete Victualing List is also included in the Global and Local Consoles.
 
The ultimate ‘Generate & Print My Shopping List’ is accessed from the Global Console and this will develop a printable list of your required stores items.
 
Full instructions on how to use the App. are included as a .PDF file.

 

Delivery of the Application is FREE. We will send an email to you containing the App. and instructions following receipt of your order.
