SailLoop
Record a session and get it back in the evening as a question. For young sailors.
The problem
Young sailors notice only part of what happens around them on the water, and by the evening they know even less. Coaches see it from outside, but not from inside the boat.
What it does
- iPhone and Apple Watch record GPS, heel and wind
- A signal on the water, a question on shore; no grades, no advice
- Evening review for sailors and coaches
- Four hours of recording without a gap, 1.25 percent battery per hour
Who it's for
Sailors aged 10 to 15 in a training group, and their coaches.
State
One training group runs the app via TestFlight; the rest is being built with them.
