A New Era of Sailing Education
At Sailing Compass Academy, learning is a continuous process.
Every sail builds experience. Every repetition deepens understanding. Sailing is not a skill you simply complete, but a lifelong journey of curiosity, awareness, and growth.
This is where experience begins.
Explore IRIS in 3D

The Sailing Compass Academy
transforms IRIS into an immersive learning environment, connecting every part of the yacht with practical knowledge, instructional videos, and interactive content.
Our Sailing Yacht – IRIS
The Academy is built around a detailed digital recreation of IRIS, a Beneteau Oceanis 40.1,
connecting online learning with the layout, equipment, and systems of a real modern sailing yacht.
Modern Sailing Yacht
A true sailor’s boat.
The Oceanis 40.1 combines modern sail handling, navigation systems, deck equipment, and onboard systems, providing a relevant environment for practical sailing education.
Designed for Practical Learning
See how a real yacht is organised.
From cockpit and deck layout to the interior and technical systems, IRIS allows sailors to understand where equipment is located, how different systems connect, and how the boat functions as a whole.
Equipped for Safety
Safety is part of the learning environment.
S/Y IRIS icarries comprehensive safety, navigation, communication, and emergency equipment, allowing key safety procedures and equipment to be explored in their real onboard context.
Why Our 3D Platform Matters
Most sailing courses rely on text and diagrams.
We designed something different, something truly immersive.
– This is not a book.
– Not a slideshow.
– Not another theory-based course.
It is an interactive learning environment built around a real sailing yacht, allowing you to explore equipment, systems, procedures, and practical sailing knowledge in context.
See it. Explore it. Understand it.

Module Menu
On the right side of the screen, you’ll find the main menu for each learning module. This menu connects directly to the 3D sailing boat and guides your experience.
Interactive Tags
Each interactive tag contains essential information related to the object or area you are viewing. When a tag is selected, you can click “View More” to access additional details. This opens a panel on the left side of the screen, presenting in-depth explanations, guidance, tips, videos, or interactive learning content.
