to supplement our class Trainings, would it be worthwhile considering this waterproof walkie-talkie helmet?
That would make communication between Student and Trainer so much easier!

Re: Waterproof walkie-talkie helmet
Since my previous post Technology has moved on and (waterproof) Bluetooth Headsets with microphone have become widely available at low cost (less than 20GBP). I guess saltwater is no good for them regardless, so the below only applies to sweet water or calm conditions at sea.
The following setup could make for amazing training effectiveness:
-teacher with mobile and Headset on either rib or another Skiff
-students with mobiles (it is wise to use an old phone!) in waterproof sleeves in the mast pocket strapped securely and Headsets
-the teacher dials all students into a conference call (Limit something like 5 People). People have flatrates these days, so no Problem there)
-These Headsets have noise cancelling tech so the Background noise might be bearable (if not you could Limit yourself to 1:1 calls)
-Batteries need to be fully charged when leaving shore...
Comments?
Anybody keen to try this in reality?

Looks interesting...
Pretty sure the RYA have tried / use something similar for coaching.

Re: Waterproof walkie-talkie helmet
Sounds good! What about a test during wittensee fight? We could try different manufacturers. I would be willing to get one for testing. There's only one hitch: to coach you need to go slower than the rest of the fleet, iver

Re: Waterproof walkie-talkie helmet
i have a set of the jaybirds similar to those headphones pictured above; they work very well and are water resistant. All i would say about a double ear piece does isolate quite alot of external noise and you'll be surprised about how much you rely on sound as a sense when you are sailing; you might want to look for something that has a single ear piece.
perhaps try go sailing with some ear plugs and see
at least you have an excuse when you miss a starboard tacker hail!
