### 2/5 — Does not have Argentina

*2026-08-11*

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-06-03, version 1.3.5*

To navigate this game is ridiculous for starters and even if you get to play a game it’s soo poor graphics that they even think you will want to pay to play this load of nonsense, it’s actually laughable !

### 3/5 — Starboard

*2024-03-07*

Why starboard and port are working conversely ?

**Developer response:** Hi FireDragon
Thank you for the feedback.
We found the issue in the colliders.
In the newest update it should been fixed. 
Please let us know if it is still an issue. You can write Emma@playesailing.com

### 4/5 — Great

*2023-10-29, version 1.2*

This game is a brilliant idea and will defiantly be fun to play. 
Controls are simple and easy to use.
However bugs/optimisation - I know it is in testing so I will list them.
Spinnakers - can be used up wind which is possible
Laylines - for the poppies and lasers the upwind layline does not adjust with shifts and because of this it means that if you try and sail the layline it is off by a few boat lengths. Downwind laser and oppie lines are good. However spinnika laylines are different as you need to be using it as a sail not as a parachute
Control wise they are a tad too sensitive so move the boat too much to be much use if fine tuning for laylines
Bug - when going on any point of sail hitting the ease sail button it dosent slow the boat down/ stop it. When on the downwind hitting the ease sail will cause the boat to keep its speed and then you can bare up to the nogo zone and sail at 15-20 knots straight to the top mark which is a massive bug. Game breaking
Apart from those that I’ve found the games is rather fun to play and I look forward to more updates to patch this

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-09-05, version 1.1*

Know the game is not fully there and the guys are still developing on it and it will only get better. But already so much better than what is already out there
