Sail Tactician

A coach that talks, a guide to every maneuver, and a mode with nothing but the clock. Guided training, rebuilt: • The coach now says one word at a time — TACK, GOOD, HEAD UP — out loud and on your wrist, so you sail the boat instead of reading a screen. • Drills run on the watch or phone alone or both. Each device has its own controls page for +1, Next Drill, Skip Rest and Ready. • Drive a mounted phone from the watch and the same call appears on both. You choose which device speaks; if the watch drops out, the phone picks the voice up and hands it back when it returns. • Wrist taps are separate from the voice, so you can mute one and keep the other. • The watch asks about a missing wind or start line before a drill that needs one — and never blocks the start. Learn the maneuver, not just the drill: • Tap any drill to open its own page: what it is, why you would choose it over the plain version, the steps, what a good rep looks like, and the fault to watch for. • A diagram drawn from your own boat's upwind angle, with the pinched and over-turned versions beside the good one. Roll tacks and gybes add a stern-on strip showing where the crew's weight goes. • A History tab counts every rep you have sailed of that maneuver, with your average speed loss and recovery beside the numbers they are judged against, and your most common fault. Black Box: • Race with the start timer and nothing else. The countdown runs as normal; at the gun the screen shows elapsed time, a recording dot and End; ending puts you back on the timer with no summary. • Everything is still recorded. Add the wind, the start line and the windward mark afterwards on the session map and the full analysis appears. • Off by default; turn it on in Watch Settings and/or iPhone Setup › Layout. Units: • Speed and distance are now two separate settings. Pick nautical miles, miles or kilometres, with short distances in metres or feet. • Boat lengths are gone as a display unit. A hull-length estimate could not support the precision "3.2 lengths" implied. Also: • The phone's mounting and calibration moved out of Settings and into race setup, where you actually do it — with the level bubble visible the whole time you are levelling, not only after. • The readiness rail gives its space to whatever needs it, so a long workout or boat name is never clipped.
