Description
Regatta Strategy Kit | Protest Kit
The ultimate tool for coaches, sailors and race officials who want maximum clarity when explaining maneuvers, right of way (RRS) and upwind or downwind strategy.
Thanks to the embedded neodymium magnets, the pieces stay firmly attached to magnetic boards, so you can use it vertically without anything moving out of place.
Race strategy kit printed in full-color PETG and fitted with neodymium magnets.

Packaging:
1 compartment organizer box, 3D printed, with a sliding lid so you do not lose any piece in transit.
🔧 Technical Specifications and Materials
Material: PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol). We chose it because it offers far better impact and temperature resistance than standard PLA. It does not deform if left in the sun at the yacht club storage.
Magnetic technology: High-power neodymium magnets embedded inside the piece (they do not come off or unglue).
• Brand: 3D Tech
• Model: Standard – Magnetic Strategy and Protest Kit
• Manufacturing technology: additive manufacturing / professional 3D printing (FDM)
• Base material: high impact resistance PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

The kit
What is the 3D Tech Regatta Strategy Kit?
It is a magnetic, full-color 3D-printed PETG kit for explaining tactics, analyzing races and rebuilding protest situations on any whiteboard or metal surface. It is designed by and for sailors, and used by coaches, helmsmen, race officials and sailing clubs.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes 12 magnetic boats with interchangeable magnetic sails (5 red, 5 green and 2 yellow), 8 magnetic cylindrical windward and leeward marks (5 yellow and 3 purple), a committee boat, a wind direction arrow and a current direction arrow. The Standard kit also includes a set of 8 interchangeable magnetic race signal flags. Everything comes in a 3D-printed compartment box with a sliding lid, so no piece gets lost in transit.
What is the difference between the Standard and the Pocket kit?
The Standard kit includes the race signal flags. The Pocket kit is an ultra-compact version that fits in one hand, ideal to carry aboard, and includes the other elements without the flags. The current price is always shown on each product page.
Can it be used as a protest kit?
Yes. The same kit works as a race strategy kit and as a protest kit: it lets judges, sailors and coaches rebuild a race situation with boats, marks and wind and current arrows.
Which boat classes and uses is it suited for?
It is a whiteboard tool used by coaches, race officials, yacht club judges and helmsmen in classes such as Optimist, ILCA (Laser), Cadet, 29er and J70, among others. It helps to explain maneuvers, analyze race tactics, resolve protests, define right of way and practice mark roundings.
Is it based on the racing rules?
Yes. It is developed following the World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), so it works well to explain right of way and protest situations.
How does it stay on the board?
Each piece has embedded neodymium magnets that give a firm grip on any whiteboard or metal surface. The sails are magnetic and interchangeable too, so you can tell the fleets apart.
Can I add more boats, marks or committee boats?
Yes. The store has accessories to expand the kit, such as additional boats, mark sets and committee boats.

About 3D Tech
Who makes the kit and where?
It is made by 3D Tech, a 3D printing workshop in Alto Los Cardales, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. It was founded by Nicolás Careaga, an engineering student and competitive sailor, who designs every piece with engineering precision and a racer’s eye. Learn more about us.
What material and equipment do you print with?
We mainly print in PETG and PLA, on two machines: Elegoo Centauri Carbon and Snapmaker U1. They allow full-color printing with a good finish.
