Practice DOCKING in VR!

Download: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2465388190184288 Experience the thrill of docking your virtual sailboat in a marina with NauticEd and MarineVerse's VR course! Summer sailing is wonderful. It’s a moment away from work when you can enjoy pure bliss. It’s a time for adventure and deep connections. But there is usually one stressful moment: When it’s time to dock in the marina. Good docking is a combination of technical skills, preparedness, and good communication with your crew. And we usually don’t get many opportunities to practice. That’s why at MarineVerse, we are launching a 4-part series Virtual Docking Practice. Designed in collaboration with NauticEd, we've transformed their popular online sailing course into an immersive and interactive virtual reality (VR) experience. With just a VR headset, you get transported on a yacht and get to practice docking, in safe conditions and as often as you want - without any pressure from the marina’s tourists. What’s in the series? - Momentum control: Practice forward momentum in downwind and upwind conditions, and learn how to accelerate from a standstill. - Maneuvering forward and in reverse: Master turning the boat, thrust bursts, figure 8s, and downwind turning. - Propwalk: Experience and control propwalk in various situations, learn to use it to your advantage, and overcome its challenges. - Using spring lines: Learn how to use spring lines effectively in various docking scenarios. - Leaving the dock: Safely go out in various wind conditions - Returning to the dock: Practice ferrying and Mediterranean mooring techniques to ensure a safe return to the marina. The modules will be released between May 4 and June 21st and are available as part of MarineVerse Sailing Pass. Happy sailing!
