Looking down is not sailing.
Every number that matters in a race lives on a screen somewhere below your eyeline. Distance to the line. Time to burn. Whether you are lifted or headed. Which means every time you check one, you stop sailing the boat for a second.
Tactiqs on Maverick Sport puts those numbers in front of you instead. Eyes on the water, hands on the helm, data where you are already looking.
Reads your boat
Tactiqs connects to your existing instruments over a wireless NMEA interface and turns them into 62 performance metrics, plus 25 more for foiling boats. Works with B&G, Garmin and Raymarine, and with no instruments at all on a dinghy using the phone's own sensors.
Wins you the start
The system tracks distance and direction to the line continuously, calculates how many seconds of burn time you have against your boat's polars, and shows you which end is favoured and by how much.
Shows you the racecourse
Laylines, wind shift history, and a bird's eye view of where you sit against the next mark. Then a full post-race replay through SailCast on the Tactiqs portal.
Control it without touching your phone
Swipe forward on the right temple to mark a moment, then pick what it meant: start the timer, ping the line. Swipe back to cycle views. The system compensates for the delay between your swipe and your selection, so the timer is still right.
And the Maverick augmented reality glasses? Complete game changers. After about 10 races, you won't want to race without them again.

Anything that puts NMEA-0183 or NMEA-2000 on the network. B&G H5000 and WTP3 connect directly over websocket. No gateway on board? A Yacht Devices Wifi gateway handles it.
Tactiqs uses your phone's own GPS and sensors, with manual wind input. Fine for dinghies and small keelboats.
IP55, which covers spray and rain. Not submersion. Wear a retainer.
Down to your interpupillary distance, 54 to 72mm across the two sizes. If you are unsure, Standard fits most people.
Yes for the master device. Tactiqs runs on iOS, with an Android smartwatch companion app.
Tactiqs is one of a growing number of apps built on the Maverick SDK. If you are building something that works better in someone's line of sight than on a screen in their lap, the SDK is available on request.
