You can open it in G7towin in either of two ways:

Open G7towin and use File → Open to select the file.
Once the route is open in G7towin:
Go to File → Save As.
Save the route in GPX format.
You now have a GPX version of your SeaClear route on your desktop.
You now have a GPX file of your SeaClear route on your desktop.
