The award recognizes an innovation designed to make mooring maneuvers simpler, more precise and safer.<\/em><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Smart Mooring continuously analyses wind, current and wave conditions to assist the skipper during mooring maneuvers. The solution combines the precision of BlueNav\u2019s Precision+ GPS with its ultra-precise electric motors and Smart Navigation features to facilitate the most demanding mooring maneuvers.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The system automatically brings the boat back to a previously recorded GPS position and maintains it with \u00b120 cm accuracy. When preparing mooring lines or compensating for wind and current alongside a dock, the system continuously makes the necessary corrections to keep the boat precisely positioned, without constant manual intervention. Positioning can also be controlled from the BlueNav App, allowing the boat\u2019s position to be easily adjusted from anywhere on board. This simplicity is particularly valuable on boats operated with a reduced crew, allowing the skipper to manage mooring alone.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The result: precise maneuvers, increased safety and less stress, for both recreational and professional users. This technology reflects BlueNav\u2019s vision of making navigation more intuitive through an intelligent combination of electric propulsion, high-precision positioning and automation.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>This award follows another major recognition for BlueNav earlier this year. After winning the 1st prize at the 2026 AFBE Awards for its patented Virtual Anchor, BlueNav continues to develop solutions designed to improve maneuvering, positioning and the overall boating experience.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><em>\u201cWe are particularly proud to receive the Best Equipment Improving Navigation Award at the prestigious Cannes Yachting Festival. This recognition rewards one of BlueNav\u2019s key ambitions: putting technology at the service of more intuitive and safer navigation. With Smart Mooring, we provide a concrete solution to one of the most demanding moments on board, reducing stress and giving the skipper greater control over maneuvers that require the most attention.\u201d <\/em>Xavier Lach\u00e9rade, CEO of
