Wind can do both!
With this graphic representation and calculation of "gained" and "lost" boat lengths, we aim to illustrate gains and losses, as well as the "risk zones" on the racecourse, and demonstrate the importance of carefully observing wind shifts. This explanation, presented under the guidance of a coach, is also clear and understandable for Optimist sailors. Boat length serves as the benchmark, and Optimist dinghies are used as the "measurement unit."

A "Game Against the Wind" and "Boat Against Boat".
Sailing for beginner and advanced racers! Beginners can take their first steps in sailing, as we show how a boat can sail against the wind. Tactical Sailing developed a "Wind Simulator", which offers to practice your skills. Is this your first time steering a boat? Tactical Sailing shows how you can "tack" against the wind to move your boat as fast as possible upwind. You´ll have twice the fun with Tactical Sailing.
Tips: The standard program offers Tactical Tips, a broad selection of very valuable tips – including basic rules for the right of way as defined by „World Sailing (ISAF)“. The program includes a learning module with more than 40 tips to sail "Against the Wind" or "Boat Against Boat".
NEW! Exercises for "beginners, juniors, regatta sailors and experts". All exercises are now in one place - making them easier to find and operate. With 1-click operation, the most important tactical tips - from start to finish line - are summarized in a new category 'Tips-Tactics'.
Coach's Toolbox (Stand alone or All in One) is an important extension within the overall program of "Tactical Sailing - Games&Tips". Naturally, all other sailors wanting to perfect their knowledge in strategy and tactics in order to be optimally prepared for the coming regattas, can use it as well.
The Tactical Sailing program runs perfectly on PCs with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X 10 Catalina with Intel processor, but not on the Apple M1/2/3/4 processor with macOS X 11 Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma, Sequoia, Tahoe, or higher.
