### 5/5 — To good

*2021-04-11*

It is sooooooo good I can’t find a mistake

### 2/5 — Needs to use sailing rules

*2020-03-28, version 1.22*

There is no application of the rules of sailing. Boats on port tack don’t give way to starboard tackers and don’t have to do penalty turns. Boats with inside overlap at marks get run over by boats outside with no penalty. 

A boat to leeward and ahead should cast a wind shadow over the boat behind and to weather but that doesn’t happen. Also need an overview so you know where other boats are so you can plan strategy.

So bit of work to be done the make this better.

### 2/5 — Nul

*2019-03-28, version 1.22*

Pas du tout réaliste :un bateau ça ne tourne pas aussi facilement

### 1/5 — Amusant 5 minutes

*2018-02-02, version 1.22*

après, on s’ennuie vite car il y a un seul parcours. 
NUL !!!
A EVITER ABSOLUMENT

### 3/5 — Much too fast

*2016-10-03, version 1.22*

It looks like a good game but the developers need to slow it down to about a tenth of its current speed before I'll consider buying the full version. At the moment it's like speedboat racing in a sail boat which immediately destroys any sense of realism.

### 1/5 — Mediocre to irritating.

*2016-05-05, version 1.22*

This game is mediocre at best. Played over a dozen times with different boats and the steering is so annoying and sometime completely unresponsive it just isn't worth the effort. Too bad. Could have been fun.

### 5/5 — Add Olympic course update

*2015-12-06, version 1.1*

This game is amazing but as I am a sailer I am used to the Olympic course and thought it would be great to include it in the next update. Other than that AMAZING!

### 5/5 — Awesome but

*2015-08-12, version 1.1*

Please add first person view

### 5/5 — Sailing out of season

*2014-12-29, version 1.1*

Nice game to practice tactics, work the changing winds and get to do a bit of sailing in a Canadian winter. I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the cheating by the other boats. they will go around markers the wrong way, run into you and don't give right of way without being penalized. You can do the same without being penalized, but cheating is no fun and in real life it works a bit different...
Good entertainment, though!

### 4/5 — Carino

*2014-09-29, version 1.1*

Carino, capito come funziona è divertente.......
