Tools for all levels of training

There are the Coach's Highlights and the large Coach's Toolbox. These have been proven to promote attention and concentration when using the various animations, whereby the individual processes can be changed individually as required. For the design of seminars, lectures and workshops, the highlights and the toolbox are very effective aids for all levels of training.
Learn to sail while playing - 4 games are part of "Highlights" specially designed for young sailors. With the fox hunting, the chain of buoys , the slalom and scooter race, a lot of fun is guaranteed for two or four players!

PATTERNS ON THE WATER: CIRCLE, DIAMOND, RECTANGLE AND SQUARE

Comment on HIGHLIGHTS:
Tactician Tilo Schnekenburger (GER): "The super quick introduction to the most important tactical topics. Ideal for training work."
Head state coach of Baden Württemberg Peter Ganzert (GER): "The coaching highlights are super handy and useful in tactics training - at every age group and performance level."
Coach Maxi Walkenbach (Berlin): "Tactical Sailing is the perfect visualisation of patterns and tactics on the water: circle, diamond, rectangle and square. Ideal for explaining and understanding the basics and actions."

Coach's Highlights - 20 exercises as an introduction to 'tactics', start with one click

With one "click", the coach can repeatedly call up the simulation of a regatta scene and discuss it with the sailors. Train the ability to make decisions on the regatta field:

Start phase, wind conditions, risk assessment, attack-defence, right of way and performance analysis.

Strategic and tactical decisions in regatta sailing are made in a similar way to classic “risk management”. This starts right at the starting line. The sailor must choose the right or left side of the regatta field. Jochen Schuemann, one of the world's best sailors, also sees it this way: "The physics of sailing constantly force you to make a clear decision."
