Week to Regatta

Features
Read full description

A calm, practical sailing tutor that gets you ready for your first race in seven days. No noise, no tracking, just the things you actually need on the water. THE 7-DAY ARC Eight focused lessons mapped to a 7-day plan: Day 1. Wind, points of sail, and the first hand on the helm. Day 2. Sail trim and tell-tales. Reading the boat through your hands. Day 3. Tacking and gybing under control. Day 4. Heel, leeway, and how the boat actually moves. Day 5. Polar curves and finding your true target speed. Day 6. Race start, line, and the first beat. Day 7. Mark roundings, finish, and the pre-race checklist. A "Continue" hook on the home screen always points to the next thing you should open. You never have to think "what was I doing". WHAT IS INSIDE A real wind simulator. The boat uses a VPP (Velocity Prediction Program) physics engine, the same family of math used by professional sail designers. Move the wind sliders, change the sail trim and reef, and the boat answers honestly. A side-view, top-view, and rear-view of the same yacht so you can feel heel and leeway, not just read about them. Drills and missions. Practice tack timing, the lift-and-header response, and the wind shift game until they are automatic. An interactive yacht anatomy with 17 parts. Tap a hotspot, read the part, see it in a real photo poster, and learn the line that pulls it. A glossary you can search. Halyard, hank, heel, helm, hike. Fifty-plus terms, in your pocket, offline. Rules of the road, with diagrams. Know who has right of way before the protest committee asks you. A pre-race checklist. Hearing protection, watch, foul-weather bag, weather brief, sail plan. Tick it off the night before. BRAND PROMISE We believe one focused week of practice is the difference between watching a regatta and racing in one. The app is the calm voice next to you on day one of that week. PRIVACY No analytics. No tracking. No ads. All your progress stays on your device. You give the app nothing it does not need to teach you. There is no account, no email gate, no third-party SDK reading your data. LANGUAGES Russian, English, Polish, Spanish, French, German, Italian. The same content, the same tone, in your language. WHO IT IS FOR First-time racers signing up for a club series. Cruisers who want to start racing. Crew who joined a boat last week and have a regatta on the calendar. Anyone who likes sailing and wants the vocabulary, the physics, and the muscle memory in one place. Open it. Start Day 1. We will see you on the start line.
