WHY NAVIGATE WITH DATA

Owners often invest significant amounts for a new set of sails, but forget to invest in navigation systems that allow them to perform at their best.

Navigation tools that provide accurate and reliable data are now an important advantage for racing.

In a regatta, every second counts!

Starting on the line earns you 5/10 seconds for each test, navigating the targets allows you to “recover” 72 seconds, tacking the laylines for another 30 seconds …

In short, a navigation software really makes the difference between winning and participating!

VIDEO

You will learn how to optimize the performance and performance of your boat, to sail faster!

AIMS

The navigator courses are aimed at all sailors and owners who wish to improve the performance of their boat, making the most of the potential of the equipment installed on board and deepening the role of the navigator in regattas.

During the online course you will learn the functionalities of the ESA Regatta navigation program.

The on-board course will be essential to score the theory lessons acquired and you will learn the techniques of conducting a regatta
