T S S — Tactical Sailing Situations

PC based computer drawing program for illustrating and explaining rules, protests, tactics and boat movement. A very useful tool for protest committees, appeal committees, coaches and sailors looking to learn more about rules and tactics.

It is with great sadness ISAF reports that Henri Peronneau (FRA), the creater of TSS, an ISAF International Judge has died after a long battle with illness aged 59. Henri's work as an umpire showed him there was a need for better explaining umpire decisions and that he could develop software to help achieve this. As a mathematician, Henri worked on a project to develop such a tool and in 2000 introduced Tactical Sailing Solutions (TSS) to the America's Cup in New Zealand. Since then it has been used all over the world and improved as umpires and uses offered feedback.

At the moment Henri's webside Tactical Sailing Situsations is still running, however it's future is unknown.
