This means that you can make mistakes when sailing on the PC and keep trying out new strategies. If a virtual boat comes into contact on the regatta field, it will be shown to you immediately - a situation that could potentially lead to damage to the opposing boat and endanger others in a real regatta. The toolbox helps you to act safely. Check out all the features of the Toolbox here.
Michaela and Thomas Pfeiffer from ETUF Sailing - Essen (Germany) organized a seminar under the motto:
"Learning tactics and strategy through play."
There were 18 registrations, mostly Opti sailors, a few parents, a trainer and two 420 sailors, but even "big ones" were able to watch, e.g. an experiened 'Dragon' sailor Richard.
All participants were able to watch from home on their PC.
Michaela: “Jeanette has already told me that we will have to pack a computer at the weekend when her son and our Henriette go to Andijk for training, because the two of them want to play against each other.”
"Perfect - I'm glad that it works with the "Zoom technology"!
Kids are actually already playing eagerly here :-)", see photo.
Michaela Pfeiffer - youth officer ETUF sailing team - wrote a report about the online seminar, which was held on November 13th, 2024 by the Baldeneysee state base for the Opti children, download her report here (English).

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.
