Make the first twenty mistakes at home.

Before Saturday, put her alongside twenty times on your iPad — the school’s boat, the school’s pontoon, Saturday’s wind — and arrive having already made the mistakes that would have cost you the morning.

The hour on the water is short and the pontoon is hard. The practice does not have to be.

What you getFree, for ever

01The trainerThe simulator, every boat in the library and every harbour the community has published. Offline, on your own device.
02Eight lessonsBoth shelves, graded — leaving the pontoon, coming alongside, the wave-off, wind and tide, and the box berth between piles.
03The debriefYour track, where the way came off, and the moment it went wrong. Watch it again as often as you like.
04No accountNo registration, no login, no data. Load the app once and it works with the phone in flight mode.
If your school hands out a codeAsk them

A code from your sailing school opens Plus for the term: your school’s own pontoon and boats, your instructor’s demonstration to compare against, and the assignments they set.

When the term ends nothing is taken away. The trainer, your saved runs and the whole lesson book stay exactly where they are.

  • Ask your school whether they have codes — it costs them a line in the course fee
  • No code, no problem: the eight lessons are free either way
  • Schools and clubs can read the details on the schools page
