Trim Compass
An interactive guide to sail trim, wind, and telltales.
Trim Compass is a small tool for a better feel for sailing. Drag the wind arrow around the boat, watch the sails change and get trim advice for the wind you have right now.
Around the trim guide are guides to telltales, to wind and waves, and to the parts of a sailboat across five rig types. It speaks Swedish, English and German.
