Room for improvement

Looks like it has potential, but wind direction is not easy to notice shifts. Main issue for me is the other boats never give way.

Okay, needs work

Steering input is sketchy at best…no consistent correlation to how much finger movement equals how much rudder so you’re constantly turning to much or not enough.
Maybe give the option to use the g-sensors like the driving games?
A course overview before the start would be nice, as would a chance to start on the port tack.

Good, could be great

This game is fun for what it is, but it’s not exactly a simulator.

The penalties are a bit screwy (I think it misunderstands the overlap rules.)

Bit two improvements would really help. The player should not be on starboard tack all the time. Also a prestart would be great

And it would be awesome if there could be some accounting for wind blocking. So the trailing boat could make the downwind boat go.

Amazing!!!

Amazing game, I play it all the time but it would be awesome if you could chose your starting positions and more boats on the line ⛵️ ⛵️

A lot of effort for a dumb result

Clearly this is a well made game for its graphics are pretty good!
However it’s all for nought as the camera angles ruin it completely. Really stupid programming.

General fixes

Rsx needs the sail to come around the front of the board during gybes, Nacra and 9er needs kite, add proper 49er with kite Nacra needs to foil but good game in general

Something to fix

It is fun, but sailing rules are wrong in this game.

Has potential, but a long way to go

Nice idea but until you have a different racing options and a better command of the boat, sail trim and choice of sails for example... I’m just not convinced, good to have any sailing apps out but just because there is limited competition, there’s no excuse for such a, in fairness, weak effort.

Plz fix

Nacra needs to foil and at least both the 9er and the nacra need kites to be better

Not accurate

The game needs to be developed more. The starboard rule only seems to take effect when you make a mistake but not if the computerised opponent makes a mistake.

Good Sailing Game

Great game--very good physics. I wish I could see the course beforehand and/or adjust the view. Need to know where I'm headed prior to the mark rounding.

Rules need improvement

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

Crashes all the time

It consistently crashes on certain boats.
Furthermore, when it does work, you always start on a port tack with the committee boat in the way, thereby allowing the computer boat to win 9 times out of 10. The computer boat always starts on a starboard rack.

fun

This is excellent fun and taken in the spirit it teaches the basics. Would be good to progress to busier events with more competitors and potentially a "free" sail section to learn without any race pressure. Great for passing the time between real sailing :)

Come on

I would like to like it since it's the only DECENT sailing game out there but there's so much potential and no one is pursuing it

Good game

This is a good game but I would like to have more boats e.g. Toppers or rs 200

Great Fun!

What a fantastic little game. Great way to get your head around the basics of sailing. Very challenging. Thanks.

Really Good , Needs More

More options of boats and locations. Need to add a multiplayer that would be really fun

Decent sailing game. Needs work.

Game is pretty good. Need ability to adjust competition level. Needs more than two courses. Need to change the direction of the wind from course to course. Need a knot speedometer.

Needs work

This game is really fun, but some of the penalties are messed up. I'll get penalized for hitting a port tack boat while on starboard tack. It also penalizes the leeward boat for hitting the windward boat, when the opposite should actually be the penalty. Also it's super annoying that the player always starts on port tack. I almost always hit the committee boat unless I turn up into the wind more than I want to. A 10-20 second start sequence would be a lot more fun and realistic!
