Rules need improvement

For a game made with the the RYA you would expect the rules to be better implemented

Has potential

As an experienced dinghy sailor, I liked the overall experience, however it could be so much better. The graphics are great as is the feel of movement, but it need much longer courses with more boats for a start.
Also, upwind rule doesn't work if you are upwind, and rules are too simple. It would be great I be able to set an alt eternalise view rather than the auto view a sometimes you have no idea where you r going. Would gladly pay for a much more developed version.

Rules are too simplistic

Being limited to only the port/starboard rule is too limiting for a game like this. Windward is too often missed, and there's no consideration for room around the mark or shore.

Also, the player's boat is often left in an impossible course to start the race meaning you're pinching to get around the committee boat, or going through a very slow tack.
