Why train with a i-Sails® sail ?
If you have unlimited budget to buy official sails, stop here – Otherwise, read on…. You train to build up your sensations, and automatic responses to puffs, waves, changes in wind direction, etc, and to be able to set your boat and sail automatically. When you race, this training frees up your mind for sailing with your head “outside the boat” , watch the fleet, the puffs, adapt your strategy and build your tactics. If you train with an old, blown up sail, you will practice the wrong behavior with the wrong settings, and will either be slow when you switch to your good, racing sail; or will spend your regatta adjusting your settings for your good sail. With an i-Sails® sail, you can train without worries, and without spending a lot of money on (official) sails; and on race day, when you switch to your official sail, you can rely on settings and habits you learned when training with your i-Sails®!
