Michaela and Thomas Pfeiffer from ETUF Sailing - Essen (Germany) organized a seminar under the motto:
"Learning tactics and strategy through play."
There were 18 registrations, mostly Opti sailors, a few parents, a trainer and two 420 sailors, but even "big ones" were able to watch, e.g. an experiened 'Dragon' sailor Richard.
All participants were able to watch from home on their PC.
Michaela: “Jeanette has already told me that we will have to pack a computer at the weekend when her son and our Henriette go to Andijk for training, because the two of them want to play against each other.”
"Perfect - I'm glad that it works with the "Zoom technology"!
Kids are actually already playing eagerly here :-)", see photo.
Michaela Pfeiffer - youth officer ETUF sailing team - wrote a report about the online seminar, which was held on November 13th, 2024 by the Baldeneysee state base for the Opti children, download her report here (English).

Team Germany is well prepared for the World Championship in Argentina starting on December 5th, the following 5 sailors have qualified:
- Jasper Porthun, Tizian Lembeck, Nicolas Troeger,
- Paul Fiete Hickstein and Jonny Seekamp.
Coach is Jan Mueller and team leader Silja Wolff.
Jonny Seekamp has been an enthusiastic user of Tactical Sailing since 2022, here is his opinion: "I really like the game Tactical Sailing. You can do great things like playing team races with your family but also playing alone against the computer or in pairs against friends, siblings, etc. There are things that - in my opinion - are very well done: the wind changes, there are gusts in different places and you can choose your favorite boat. My favorite boat in Tactical Sailing is the 49er, for example." See more information here.

Tactical Sailing shows how you can "tack" against the wind to move your boat as fast as possible upwind. You´ll have twice the fun with Tactical Sailing.
Tips: The standard program offers Tactical Tips, a broad selection of very valuable tips – including basic rules for the right of way as defined by „World Sailing (ISAF)“. The program includes a learning module with more than 40 tips to sail "Against the Wind" or "Boat Against Boat".
NEW! Exercises for "beginners, juniors, regatta sailors and experts". All exercises are now in one place - making them easier to find and operate. With 1-click operation, the most important tactical tips - from start to finish line - are summarized in a new category 'Tips-Tactics'.
Coach's Toolbox (Stand alone or All in One) is an important extension within the overall program of "Tactical Sailing - Games&Tips". Naturally, all other sailors wanting to perfect their knowledge in strategy and tactics in order to be optimally prepared for the coming regattas, can use it as well.
