The collected data is instantly transmitted to the coach's device.

Information about the water area and individual boats of sportsmen is transmitted to this device without any delay. The coach's set also includes a wind sensor and a computer with which the necessary data is reproduced. Relying on FastSkipper, sportsmen and coaches get a rare opportunity to reproduce the entire training session in a special player and get training reports of each yachtsman. FastSkipper devices are easily mounted and are not exposed to aggressive external environments, for example, sea water. Likewise, they have a high impact-resistant potential. Moreover, the intuitive interface of FastSkipper allows you to use it both on a professional and amateur level, as the principles of its operation can be mastered intuitively.
