Complete Coaching System with Bluetooth Wind Sensors
Each dinghy gets a Bluetooth wind sensor. Every sailor gets professional-grade performance data.
RacePilot is a complete coaching system where each dinghy mounts a Bluetooth wind sensor on the mast. Combined with AI-powered analytics on every sailor's phone, it delivers real-time wind data and performance insights that transform how squads train and race.
Every dinghy gets real wind data: Small Bluetooth wind sensor clips to mast • Broadcasts apparent wind speed & direction to sailor's phone • RacePilot automatically calculates true wind from boat speed and heading • No wiring, no batteries to wire in • Quick mount/dismount for rotating boats • Works with any dinghy class
Compatible sensors: Calypso Ultrasonic, Vaavud, WeatherFlow WINDmeter
Sailors just press "Start Session": App automatically connects to their boat's wind sensor • GPS tracks their sailing • AI analyzes every tack, VMG angle, wind shift, speed change • Real-time performance feedback on the water • Post-session detailed analytics
Compatible with iPhone and major Android brands
Set up race courses in minutes — just sail to each mark: Open Course Setup tab • Sail to committee boat position → tap "Committee Boat" • Sail to pin → tap "Pin End" • Sail to windward mark → tap "Windward Mark" • Continue for all marks • Tap "Save Course" • Done!
RacePilot records GPS coordinates automatically. No measuring, no guessing. Your course appears instantly on the coach dashboard with all marks color-coded and labeled. Perfect for changing venues or setting temporary courses.
Complete fleet visibility: Real-time fleet analytics when all sailors are sending data • Live tracking of all sailors on one screen • Compare who's sailing in phase with shifts • Side-by-side tack performance analysis • See which sailors are optimizing VMG • Post-session deep-dive for entire squad • Export data for team reviews
Professional race analysis tools built into the dashboard
All course marks appear on the map with custom icons, colors, and sequence numbers. Committee boat, pin, windward, leeward, offset marks — all clearly labeled and interactive. Tap any mark to see details.
Animated wind arrows show direction and speed across the course. Color-coded by Beaufort scale (green = light, yellow = fresh, orange = strong, red = gale). See exactly what conditions sailors faced at different parts of the course.
Port and starboard laylines projected from current position to windward marks. Toggle on/off to teach optimal upwind tactics. Green = port tack, red = starboard tack. Shows sailors exactly when to tack.
Automatic calculation of start line bias in degrees. System analyzes wind direction vs line heading and tells you which end is favored and by how much. No compass bearings or mental math required.
Toggle all overlays on/off during session replay. Perfect for coaching!
One-time setup per boat: Clip sensor to mast → Pair with sailor's phone → Done
Every session after: Turn on sensor → Open app → Tap Start Session → Go sailing
Setting up a course: Open Course Setup → Sail to each mark → Tap the mark button → Save
No wiring. No drilling. No permanent installation. Sensors can move between boats or stay with squad boats. RacePilot handles all the data automatically.
RacePilot's AI doesn't just record numbers — it understands sailing.
Spots every tack, gybe, and maneuver automatically. Measures speed loss, time in irons, and acceleration curve.
Learns your optimal VMG angles over time — not generic class data. After a few sessions, knows that your Laser sails best at 42° in 12 knots based on your history.
Flags when you're unexpectedly slow and explains why. "Lap 2: you were 0.3 knots slower than average. Cause: excessive tacking in shifty conditions."
Matches maneuvers between boats. Instead of "Boat A won," you get "Boat A gained 15 seconds through better tacks (2.5s each), but Boat B had faster straight-line speed."
Provides early contextual insights based on your patterns, improving the more you sail: "You lose 4.2 seconds per tack. Try rolling less — your fastest tacks are the smooth ones."
Tracks persistent and oscillating shifts throughout the session. Identifies patterns and shows which sailors sailed the shifts best. "Wind oscillated ±8° with 12-minute cycles. Sailor B tacked in phase 78% of the time."
The AI turns raw GPS and wind data into actionable stories about your sailing — delivering advanced performance insights normally found only on high-end race systems.
