Play With NED!
February 16th, 2010
NED is your virtual sailing instructor. NED will teach you how to correctly trim the sails on almost any sailboat with a mainsail and headsail.
Your sails will be correctly trimmed when your boat speed reaches its maximum for any particular wind speed and direction.
You can turn the boat into or away from the wind, let the sails out or tighten them up and you can adjust the speed of the wind.
NED represents the real world polar plot of a real racer cruiser sailboat. It’s the closest thing you can get to sailing instruction online.
Access to NED is provided FREE to the world courtesy of NauticEd.org





FYI-The Olson 30 Nationals will be taking place on San Francisco Bay the 1st week of June 2010. Should be a great regatta with I’m guessing 10-15 boats.
Speedster is a nice looking ride!
