The VS-C1 sailing simulator is the cockpit of a racing dinghy that pivots on an A-frame. The angle of heel is controlled by a pneumatic ram that is controlled by a computer buried within the frame.  Attached to the cockpit are sensors that feed back information on rudder angle, boat heel angle and mainsheet tension to the computer.  As a sailor you can sail one of a variety of boats including a Laser (4,7, Radial or full rig), a Byte, 29er, or an Optimist.

Indoor sailing is based in Lymington on the UK south coast, but our sailing simulator is easily transportable and has been in action from Barcelona to Berlin, Paris and Glasgow.  Our company mission is to introduce as many people as possible to the sport of dinghy racing, and all company activities are directed at that goal....

Events and Exhibitions:   You can hire the sailing simulator for use at exhibitions and events; anyone who has seen it in action will know that a busy sailing simulator can turn an otherwise static exhibition stand into a popular attraction; some typical sailing routines are described on the Events page; and our current rates can be found on the Costs Page.

Training:   An indoor sailing simulator has several advantages over 'real-lfe'. On the Training page we discuss some of these.

Schools and Clubs:   The simulator can bring sailing right into the school gym. It's an excellent way to develop links between school and sailing club. We are keen to support RYA Champion Club junior programmes and we apply heavy discounts for clubs and schools that are working together.
