From VR to the Water: Polish School Pilot Suggests MarineVerse Can Help Students Prepare for Real Sailing
A school-based pilot in Wisła, Poland compared students who trained with MarineVerse VR against a traditional theory group before a real sailing camp. The early results suggest improved helm confidence, wind-relative orientation, and maneuver awareness.
“Students who had previously attended MarineVerse VR sailing classes were able to take the helm immediately on a 5-person training boat. More importantly, they were ready to use wind angles — not shore landmarks — as reference points for their course. That gave them a major advantage when sailing, tacking, and gybing.”

A school-based sailing education pilot in Wisła, Poland has produced a promising early signal: students who prepared with MarineVerse in virtual reality appeared more confident and better prepared when they later moved onto real boats.
The project was led by Marcin Kotowicz at Szkoła Podstawowa nr 1 im. Pawła Stalmacha in Wisła, Poland.

From VR to Real Water: How Sea Scouts Used MarineVerse for Winter Sailing Training
Ahoy!
I’m Greg, CEO of MarineVerse, and today I’m excited to share a story that’s particularly close to my heart.
Growing up in Poland, I was part of a Sea Scouts group. We’d huddle together during the long winter months, studying knots and navigation theory from books, dreaming of the moment we could finally get back on the water. The passion was there, but the ability to actually practice sailing during winter simply wasn’t. (Read the full origin story here.)
So when I learned that Don Goff, Ph.D. - a retired IT professor from the University of Maryland and a Sea Scout leader in Chicago - had been using MarineVerse Sailing Club for winter training with his Sea Scout Ship, I asked him to share his experience.

NauticEd and MarineVerse launch a new VR sailing course in MarineVerse Cup.
Being a good sailor is first of all about competence and mastery of the boat, the wind and the sea.

Keeping your sailing club active
As a club manager, you may be thinking how to grow your membership numbers ( including attracting young generation of sailors ), how to compete with other sports or how to improve club membership retention.
