Description

Sail Points is a highly interactive tool for sailing enthusiasts, sailing instructors and students to demonstrate both sail trim and points of sail. Developed by a long time sailing instructor/captain after watching students struggle with traditional teaching tools.

Features:

Rotatable boat that you can align to any point of sail
Manually adjustable and animated sails to demonstrate how sails would react to various positions.
Animated telltale windows showing how the main and jib telltales would react to each point of sail and trim setting.
Automatic trim will automatically adjust the the sails to their optimal position as you rotate the boat!

Sailing instructors can utilize this app to teach the points to students in a whole new way. Use SailPoints to demonstrate in front of the class or hand it over to your students and watch them learn.

Sail Points is a great alternative to traditional diagrams and books to practice your sail trim and points of sail. The instant feedback of the telltale windows will help you to understand how to efficiently use the telltales next time you go sailing. If you ever get stuck you can use the auto trim feature to show you the ideal sail positions!
