This is a computer game for everyone who is interested in sailing or water sports in general - it simulates a sailing race.

Learn strategy and tactics while playing against a fictive opponent, either the wind, a sparring partner or time. 1-2 players. You can have a lot of fun with the wind, many wind patterns from 1x1, 2x2, ... 8x8 will force you to concentrate to become a winner. Our boats are steered with the help of a polar diagram: Opti, Laser, Finn, 420er, 470er, 29er, 49er and keel boats H-Boat, Maxi Yacht TP 52. Optimal boat speed can be traced all the way: beating upwind , on a reach or run.

The program includes a learning module: tactical tips from David Dellenbaugh are presented as video-clips, e.g. that illustrate the advantage of sailing the long tack first, or downwind and upwind tactics. Using tactics while sailing a race means to know how to use the particular features of laylines, the rules of the zones, overlapping, and the inside position of buoys on any course: from the Olympic trapeze to up and down. We use optimal angles to tack or to jibe and we give tips to maneuver if you get a header, a lift, or persistent shift.

Great game for practicing tactics and improving skills
By Matze Kasper
I find the game a great tool for practicing and improving tactical skills, and it's perfect, because you can do it all on the computer rather than wasting hours on the water making simple mistakes that can be corrected right on your computer. A+ game!
