Description
I made this game for all sailors.
Easy way to control. Tap to tack, long-press to change the direction to where you want to go. That's it.
You can change the setting of environment and boats as you need.
This game can be helpful for beginners who will start yacht racing.
【About Sailing】
-Sailing is a sport advances by wind power.
-When a yacht is travelling upwind by 45 degrees, it is sailing ”close-hauled”.
-When a yacht is travelling diagonally to the left towards upwind, it is sailing ”starboard”.
-When a yacht is travelling diagonally to the right towards upwind, it is sailing ”port”.
-The maneuver of turning between ”starboard” and ”port” is called ”tack”.
-Make a series of tacking moves in a zig-zag fashion, and lead your yacht to the finish line!!
-New courses have been added.
【About "Right of Way"】
-Starboard yacht has the right of way.Boats on a port tack shall keep clear of boats on starboard tack.
-If you meet with starboard boat when you are on a port tack, you have to tack or bear not to hit.
-When a boat is tacking it shall keep clear of boat that is not tacking. You need to check whether there is no ship around you, before start tacking.
-If you hit another ship without your right of way, you will be "DSQ"(disqualified), which means "game over".
(*These are simple rules for game.)

Ratings and Reviews
Great App but buggy steering
This app is so much fun. The steering is very simple and easy to use, but it can be buggy and frustrating. If the developer works out these bugs so the handling stays smooth this will be the best sailing app out there. Please fix! I will come back and give 5 stars when you do.
I love this game
It’s great practice for wind shifts and right-of-way rules. I have used it for quite a while. Unfortunately, now I receive a “network error” and cannot watch the obligatory ad and return to the game. Even if I delete app and redownload I cannot progress beyond upwind practice course. The only help I can find is a forum on facebook, and I am not.
I would gladly pay to remove ads. Help me please!
Fun game when it’s working…
Surprisingly strong sailing race sim
It’s simple but it nails all of the basics of dinghy racing strategy. This is a great tool to learn about the many variables in a sailboat race and how to make strategic decisions to get the edge. I only wish that it better represented speed differences over different points of sail such as sailing dead down wind versus a broad reach.
