# Home & Vessel Summary _ReadyHelm Owner app guide, chapter 02 ยท Last updated 2026-10-28 ยท https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/home-dashboard.html_ Two different things share the word "dashboard": **๐Ÿ  Home**, a fleet-wide sidebar item above the vessel switcher, and **Vessel Summary**, the first tab you land on for whichever boat is currently selected. Home is about your whole fleet; Vessel Summary is about one boat. On mobile both live on the **Home** tab: a switch at the top flips between **All boats** (or **Overview** with one boat) and the selected boat. It remembers your choice, and starts on All boats if you have more than one. Tapping a boat on the fleet view opens it. ## Home Your fleet-wide dashboard: its own item at the very top of the sidebar, above Crew Corner and the vessel switcher. ### Finish setting up your account If you skipped part of the welcome flow (adding a boat, or finding a boat to crew on), a banner at the top of Home offers to pick up where you left off. **Dismiss for now** hides it. See [Getting Started](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/getting-started.html). ### Simple view and setup cards If you chose **Keep it simple** during guided setup, Home is one card per boat instead of the tiles below: what's due, how ready it is, and **Log something**. **Show me everything** switches to the tiles; **Switch to the simple view** switches back. In the full view, guided setup adds **Get more ready** (readiness per boat plus one setup question), **Suggested maintenance**, and an occasional one-step nudge at the top. Owners from before guided setup see a **Tune my dashboard** offer. All of this is covered in [Simple Mode & Guided Setup](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/simple-mode-and-guided-setup.html). ### What's New A banner at the top surfaces the latest ReadyHelm announcement, if there is one โ€” title and body, collapsible. It only appears when something's been published and you haven't hidden that tile; there's no way to write one yourself, it's ReadyHelm-authored. ### Tiles Below that, a grid of independent tiles, each show/hideable and reorderable: - **Your fleet** โ€” every boat you can see, with its photo, score ring, and "Ready to sail"/"Needs attention" headline. - **Action needed** โ€” the worst overdue maintenance tasks across your whole fleet (top 5, sorted worst-first), each showing the vessel, system, task, and days overdue, with a "+N more" tally. Click through to that vessel's Service Log. - **Coming up** โ€” the same treatment for tasks due soon, before they tip into overdue. - **Quick links** โ€” shortcuts to start a trip, add a to-do, add a service entry, or add a receipt. - **Float Plans** โ€” a count of your open Float Plans still awaiting a "we're back safely" close-out, plus the most recent one. See [Float Plan](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/float-plan.html). - **Your Crew** โ€” everyone with access across your fleet, by name. - **USCG sea service** โ€” pick your target license (OUPV or Master, Inland or Near Coastal) and see a progress bar toward that license's sea-day requirement, aggregated across every boat and trip you're on. It's informational only โ€” a raw day count, not a validation of every USCG rule. - **Costs this year** โ€” your Service Log costs plus [Expenses](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/expenses.html), year-to-date, summed across the fleet. - **Days on water this year** โ€” calendar days spanned by your logged trips this year. - **Weather** โ€” current NOAA conditions at each boat's home port: wind, gusts, waves, and the next tide. A boat appears here once its Location is linked to a known marine location (see [Marine Locations & Weather](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/locations-and-weather.html)). - **Racing** โ€” your next race (boat, start time, class flag, course, the forecast from your boat's home port, and on race day whether you've checked in), what's still to do for the club (waiver signatures, amendments to acknowledge, fees to pay), and seasons open for registration. See [Racing](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/racing.html). - **Race results** โ€” your latest published results and where each of your boats stands in its series. - **First Mate** โ€” a shortcut into the AI assistant to ask about maintenance or upcoming trips, or to set a reminder (see [First Mate](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/first-mate.html)). Note: Action needed/Coming up on Home cover only scheduled **maintenance tasks** โ€” checklists and to-dos have their own status badges on their own pages. Some tiles belong to features your plan doesn't include. Those still show, with an upgrade prompt, unless you hide them. ### Customizing it **Customize** opens a modal to drag-reorder tiles and toggle any of them on or off. Three tiles โ€” Your fleet, Costs this year, and Days on water โ€” also let you exclude specific vessels from just that one tile, without affecting anything else. **Reset to default** restores whatever layout an admin configured as the default. ## Vessel Summary The first tab for whichever boat is selected in the vessel switcher (labeled ๐Ÿ  in the sidebar). At the top: the boat's photo, a **score ring** (0โ€“100) with a headline โ€” **75 or above** reads "Ready to sail," below that, "Needs attention" โ€” and a one-line maintenance summary: - If anything is overdue: **"N overdue ยท N due soon"** - Otherwise, if something's coming up soon: **"N items due soon"** - Otherwise: **"All N maintenance tasks current"**, or **"No maintenance tasks scheduled"** if you haven't set any up yet. This line is specifically about **Maintenance Tasks** โ€” it doesn't include your To-Do list, which is tracked separately (see [To-Do Items](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/to-do-items.html)). Below the summary, a breakdown lists exactly what's keeping the score below 100, each one clickable straight to where you'd fix it. The boat's HIN is shown underneath. If you're a shared Viewer/Editor rather than the owner, a badge shows your role. An incoming ownership-transfer or sharing request shows as a banner here too โ€” see [Vessel Records](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/vessel-records.html) for the full picture. ### Basic info & Photos Edit the boat's name, make, model, year, type, engine hours, and location. Make and model suggest matches as you type. Location uses the marine location picker, which links the boat's home port to NOAA forecasts (see [Marine Locations & Weather](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/locations-and-weather.html)). If you added the boat without a HIN, it shows as **Pending**. Enter it here once you have it, and everything you've logged moves over to the real HIN. Once set, the HIN is permanent and can't be changed. Manage photos, including which one is the thumbnail shown on Home's "Your fleet" tile. ### Harbor Master A days-at-berth calculator for handing to a harbor master or yacht club โ€” pick a date range (this season, calendar year, or custom) to see total mooring days and the date ranges you were away, based on your logged trips, then export as PDF or CSV. If the boat has berths (see [Berths: Moorings & Slips](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/owner/berths.html)), pick one under **Berth**, or **All berths (whole vessel)**. Each berth counts only the dates the boat was on it. The boat's **Home berth** is picked first; set or **Clear** it here. **Manage berths** opens the Berths page, and **Log launch/haul-out dates** records a season's dates on the boat's mooring. ### Verified history report **"Thinking of selling?"** generates a shareable summary of the boat's maintenance record โ€” handy for a broker, surveyor, or buyer. It separates **independently verified** entries (logged or confirmed by the business that did the work) from **owner-reported** ones, since a buyer will weigh those differently. An entry read from a document you uploaded, such as a receipt, stays owner-reported until the business confirms it (**Request verification**). **Export PDF** saves it as a PDF, built by ReadyHelm from your records.
