In the United States and Canada, many sailing vessels are serving as test laboratories for students and other professionals to make certain experiments in the marine environment as they can physically observe the effect of wind and wave in certain weather conditions and learn some tangible lessons. 

Sail training has become a growing adventure activity for the people of all ages and abilities. Sailing at the sea provides a great excitement and adventure to the sailors yet many risk factors are also involved in this activity. Facing and handling unpredicted weather conditions and other risk factors is the landmark of training activity. Through the challenging environment of sea, sailors learn that their team efforts are essential to the operation and safety of the vessel i.e. success depends on one’s ability to work as a team. 

With the close research and development of Xplain on sail training processes and mechanisms, its sail training program is designed to provide basic and advanced information about sailing vessel. The training software provides learning aids for the sailors in adjusting the rigging, rudder, centre board, wind force management and other day to day routines. On the other hand, it also trains them to confront different challenges either physical or emotional thus boosting-up their self confidence level and hence enabling them to become an active crew member of sailing vessel rather than a casual passenger.
