The SailHub app is the companion to use your SailHub wind station, enabling sailing classes to have complete performance data for each boat and show each student where they did best and where they can improve. Once you set up the wind station on your coaching boat, connect your iOS device to the station's Wifi access point, and start the SailHub app. Now your students can use our Tactiqs® app on their dinghies without any instruments and still have complete performance data including wind information. You can select different group IDs for SailHub so multiple classes in the same area can use only the wind information from their coach. The SailHub app provides you with a synchronized countdown and a messaging service that is connected to all Tactiqs® devices in your group, so keeping your class in sync and on the same drill becomes a breeze.
Sailtab Controller

IMPORTANT: Sailtab Controller only works if you have a Sailtab marine instrument system installed on your boat. Without Sailtab hardware on board, this app has no function. Please do not download it unless you own a Sailtab system. Sailtab Controller turns your iPhone or iPad into a wireless display and remote for the Sailtab marine sailing instrument system on your boat.
