01 / LEARN BY SAILING

Find the feeling. Then put it together.

You don’t have to learn every term at once. Start with where the wind comes from, then explore how your heading, sail trim and speed work together.

  1. Read the wind. Find the trim.

    Recognize the wind direction. Try sheeting in and easing out. Your first two lessons are free, with room to revisit the basics as often as you like.

    Wind awareness · Sail trim

  2. Turn, recover, carry on.

    Practice tacks, gybes and wind shifts before taking on an independent voyage. Each lesson adds one more decision for you to make.

    Tacks & gybes · Wind shifts · Independent sailing

  3. Bring the whole voyage home.

    Connect leaving the berth, sailing offshore and a controlled return across nine passages in three harbor worlds.

    Departure · Passage · Return & berth

02 / ROOM TO TRY AGAIN

That last turn? Give it another go.

Rewind up to 12 seconds and try a different decision in the same voyage. Or open your local logbook, replay a passage and find a moment worth practicing again.

  • Pause and rewind while practicing
  • Logbook and replays stored locally
  • Watching saved replays stays free

Coming to iPhone

Tack Lab is simplified virtual sailing practice, not a nautical chart or sailing qualification. Learn on the water with a qualified instructor before sailing for real.
