Fahrtraining für den KAT 2.0

Blue-2 The Sailing Academy (Michael Menard)

About this app

A catamaran is handled differently in port than a monohull. This is why this APP was specially developed for cat training.

With the full version you have immediate access to all content.

The APP covers all the basics and frequently performed maneuvers. All maneuvers are described and can be played step by step in an animation. Wind, gas and the crew's commands are displayed visually.

With the integrated simulator, it is possible to drive maneuvers yourself under different conditions and thus understand the behavior of a cat. The handling of the two machines can be perfectly simulated here. At the moment, wind, wind force, lateral resistance, propulsion, drift and much more are supported. The simulator is constantly being developed and new features are made available in the updates. For every maneuver there is also a simulation with the area and the necessary conditions. An autopilot shows how to do it.
