“As experienced sailors have known for thousands of years, competence requires theory knowledge, practical skills, and lots of experience. VR combines all aspects into a fluid, immersive, and fun experience that pushes the boundaries of a user’s imagination in a safe and non-intimidating training environment.” - Grant Headifen
NauticEd and MarineVerse have created the world’s first virtual reality sailing course, “Self Mastery”. The Self Mastery course puts a person at the helm of a 30’ sailboat and controls the sails with main/jib sheets. All fully immersive, 3-dimensional, and first-person perspective virtual reality. Eight modules and about 2 hours later, you can be steering, trimming, tacking, gybing, and racing around a course. The course is called Self Mastery because within each module, you can spend as much time as you like “playing” until you feel comfortable performing and mastering a skill.
Upon completion of the Virtual Reality Sailing course, you will feel confident that you have the fundamental knowledge and skills to sail a boat. Of course, VR doesn’t replace “real life” on-the-water training and practice, but instead, it accelerates and enhances your learning for when you take the helm.
The bonus is that your VR sailing training and experience are added to your NauticEd online course curriculum and sailing resume. Like pilots include their simulator experience in their credentials, sailors can now include their VR experience when renting or chartering a boat.
Also, enjoy the many additional features of the MarineVerse Cup app. Just practice relaxed sailing in VR, challenge your skills with racing and a variety of sailboats, and join the MarineVerse virtual worldwide community to meet like-minded sailors and virtual racing and events.
Are you ready to "get your feet wet" (in your living room), feel the exhilaration of sailing anytime, and learn the fine art of sailing? Then let's get started!
