Wind can do both!
We have specially developed exercises that show how important it is to carefully observe the wind. In order to make this topic as understandable as possible for the youngest sailing enthusiasts. The simulations in the Tactical Sailing program - Coach's Toolbox - allow the helmsman to realistically experience the same situations on the water on the PC screen. See photos of sailing with pull and push rudders as well as geometric sketches and simulations in Tactical Sailing, click here.
Too much is dangerous, too little is boring!
"A wind pattern is defined by the parameters wind speed and wind direction over a spatial and temporal period," as described in "The Geometry of Regatta Sailing" by Tilo Schnekenburger. With the simulations in the Tactical Sailing program, the same situations as on the water can be realistically displayed on the helmsman's computer screen.

An interactive regatta simulation for playing and learning. Strategy, tactics and simulation! Fun for everyone who wants more than just sailing! Tactical Tips offer a broad selection of very valuable tips – including basic rules for the right of way.

With the toolbox, you receive prepared scenarios "ready to run", which you can use to practice as a beginner or expand your sailing capabilities at any time. With Coach's Toolbox you'll learn the tactics of sailing, in pairs against friends or Team Race with the family for four.

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.
However, AS AN EXPERIENCED APPLE USER, you can set up "Dual Boot" or "Parallels" with Windows for Tactical Sailing on all Macs! See notes here.
