Start/stop sailors remotely
Once sailors are connected to your coaching session, you can start and stop their recording from your phone — no sailor needs to touch their screen.
Debrief after a session
After a coached session, everything recorded on the water — GPS tracks from all sailors, course setup, voice notes — feeds into a combined debrief session in the web app. Here's how to get from the water to a shareable replay.
Set wind and marks
Recording the course setup on the water — wind direction, buoy positions, and start/finish line — feeds directly into the post-session debrief. Tack/gybe loss, VMG, and leg-by-leg analysis all depend on having this information.
Run a coached session
Coaching mode connects your phone to your sailors' phones over local Wi-Fi, letting you start and stop recording remotely, see live speeds, run countdown sequences, and communicate by voice — all without an internet connection on the water.
Use push-to-talk
Dinghy Coach includes a local push-to-talk (PTT) voice system that lets the coach speak to all sailors or to one sailor individually. It works entirely over your local Wi-Fi network — no phone signal or internet is needed, and there's no per-minute cost.
