The Sailing Coach app from Zebra Crossing is the sailing coach in the palm of your hand! This free and clever tool allows your device to replicate the small magnetic model boats used for coaching.
Novice sailors can develop a good understanding of wind direction and how that affects performance and sail setting, while more seasoned sailors will benefit from everything from learning why clear air is important, to why the top mark should be approached on starboard.
The app can also be used on multiple phones for fleet and team sailing, and is a useful prop for protest room activity.
Please note the Android/Google Play version requires a geomagnetic sensor, so check your phone has that capability before downloading.
Available for free on the App Store and Google Play.Â
Best wishes from the NZ International Optimist Dinghy Association
