For Sailing Coaches

Coach with Data,
Not Just Memory

Link up with your students and replace "that felt better" with GPS-backed numbers: measurable progress session by session, a full data breakdown of every sail, and overlaid tracks to compare students against each other or a reference run.

Progress Over Time

Measure Improvement, Don't Guess at It

Every student's dashboard plots their key metrics over time, so a drill's effect shows up as a number moving in a chart, not a subjective impression from the dock.

Trend lines for upwind VMG, downwind VMG, reach speed and average tacking loss
A session calendar covering the last 6 or 12 months per student
Filter by boat, venue and wind strength so comparisons use like-for-like data
Switch between students, or view several at once, from a single roster
Session Detail

Turn "Something Felt Off" into a Number

Each uploaded session comes with a full data breakdown, so a vague sense that upwind was slow becomes the exact tack, leg, and metres of distance that were actually lost.

Animated track replay with a speed heatmap over the course
Automatic tack and gybe detection, scored for height and time lost
Speed, VMG, VMC and heel per leg, with a synced sensor timeline
Sync onboard video to the GPS track to line technique up against the numbers
Compare Students

Overlay Students to See the Data Gap, Not Just the Distance

Load GPS tracks from several students onto one map, split each into legs, and get duration, distance, speed and VMG side by side — the numbers behind who gained or lost time on a shared course, not just a visual impression of it.

Overlay any combination of students' tracks on one map
Set marks and a start line once, shared across every overlaid track
Leg-by-leg standings quantifying who gained or lost time, and where
Save and share the data with your students afterwards
