Discover the Art and Science of Laser-Precision Two-Boat Tuning with Cyclops Marine’s Innovative Devices

Picture this: two chums, Tom and Ben, out sailing their Lasers. Tom, the speed demon upwind and Ben, the master downwind. Frustratingly, they haven’t a clue why. Any seasoned coach would recommend two-boat tuning - an objective way to analyze and compare their techniques, and pinpoint areas for improvement.

But despite rigorous testing - lining up, swapping boats, tweaking settings - Tom’s upwind advantage and Ben’s downwind prowess remain enigmatic. The answer, as they soon discover, lies in hard, real-time data on their settings, which is precisely what Cyclops Marine’s smartlink Atto delivers.

Migrating the smartlink Atto load sensor to a new location on the rig allows for detailed inspection of various performance-critical loads. Once they’ve got a handle on their targets during onshore debriefs, they can start fine-tuning on water, repeating live target numbers until they become second nature. They’re able to monitor how equipment selection, such as sails and rigging, affects dynamic loading on the water. Fusing different data sets, they can form a comprehensive, performance-enhancing strategy.

With this smarter approach to training, Tom and Ben are making tremendous strides in their sailing prowess, their eyes already set on Los Angeles 2028. This innovative solution explains why Olympic Federations across 14 countries including the GBR, GER, NOR, SWE, AUS, AUT, FRA, ITA, USA, ESP, NED, SUI, JAP & CAN all relied on Cyclops Marine devices in their Paris campaigns. In the competitive world of sailing, real-time, comparative data is a game-changer.
