Manoeuvres

Was that a good tack? Should I be helming quick through the tack or more gently? annalisa will give you the meters lost per tack or gybe, giving you the chance to compare manoeuvres. The meters lost calculation is done based on the average VMG that you are doing. That way, a difficult seastate will be taking into account.

Upwind

Is our best upwind VMG high and slow or low and fast? Be aware of the mode you are sailing, and whether the chances you are doing to the setup are better or worse. A 2% difference can be difficult to feel, but will make more then a minute difference over 1 hour sailing. Use generated speedsegments (30 sec recordings) to evaluate your performance.

Downwind

What is the crossover between the A1 and A2 and when do we use a staysail? The choice of mode downwind can be difficult, since the envelope where you can sail is a lot bigger. annalisa will help you to finetune your polars, giving you reliable targets downwind.

Off to a good start!

Put the startline in and know your distance to the line. Position yourself using the laylines to the pin or the boat end. annalisa will give you a time to burn to the line.

Build your course

You can race upwind-downwind courses, a round the cans race or an offshore, using annalisa. She offers a seemless integration with navionics charts. Experience how easy it is to move, drag and zoom your charts. You can import files with the waypoints from the cloud and use them to build your course. annalisa will give you clear information per leg. Like recommantions on sails, the times and bearing to the mark.

Call the perfect laylines

annalisa will call the laylines to the active mark. Having the laylines will give you a good idea on where you are on the course. Use the times to prepare for the spinaker drop, or the tackset that is coming up.

Add-on

annalisa uses a server that is connected to your network. Just plug it in and make sure it has a Wi-Fi connection, that's all. All data that is available on the network will be logged on the server and sent to the annalisa app running on the tablet. If you have started a session and turn off the tablet, the server makes sure that you receive all information once you turn the tablet back on.

Stand alone

The annalisa server can also be used as a stand-alone board server, controlling the network. It will take care of displaying the data and will give you control of the calibration. This is a very good option if you are thinking about a refit of your electronics, catching 2 birds with one stone: saving you money on the hardware while having a state of the art server that enables you to use annalisa for a steeper learning curve.
