Because I enjoy playing this on my iPad which I can't do because tyt he been updated to iOS 11. ### 2/5 — Sailboat Championship 2013 *2016-03-04* Could be a great game if they would improve boat steering. One time out of 10 the steering works like it should. The rest of the time it is slow and sluggish and doesn't make for good gaming experience. ### 2/5 — User interface challenge *2016-01-08* Concept and setup theory great but I consistently found that once past the tutorial the helm control was such that it was impossible to efficiently turn the boat. Also the sheet control sometimes appeared and sometimes did not I get the impression that it is not quite as stable as it should be ### 3/5 — I Love sailing *2015-11-01* If my real Yacht would have such bad Steering controls, i would wreck it. Work that out and five stars are sure. ### 4/5 — Good program for a novice such as me *2014-11-15* This is a well-designed program with realistic wind characteristics and accurate -- if simple -- tiller and line controls. I especially like the clean graphics and the basic tutorial since I have little experience sailing. The regattas are challenging and the time-keeping encourages you to sail the same course several times in order to improve your skill steering, tacking, and judging when to jibe. Music is appropriately relaxing and the messages and tips are useful. Worth the time to explore and enjoy! ### 5/5 — Love it, however.... *2014-06-14* Please can we have more levels and an online version. This is a superb game. Now to take it to the next natural level. ### 5/5 — Great balance of fun and accurate sailing! *2014-02-28, version 1.52* I am both a casual gamer and have sail experience. This game delivers a nice balance of realistic sailing with creative audio/visuals and fun gameplay. The game feels quite polished too (as you know that can be a rare thing in the AppStore at times). I hope they keep updating this app with more levels. Very fun! ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2014-02-13, version 1.52* Best game on the iPhone! ### 3/5 — Update please ! *2014-02-04* Hallo, ich habe das Spiel schon auf meinem HTC Desire HD und habe Stunde über Stunde damit verbracht. Bitte bringt neue Level, Gimmicks und eine iPad Mini Retina Auflösung als Update heraus! Please update for iPad Mini Retina Display and add more Level, boats,gimmicks! Tanks ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2013-09-22* Great game! Had an older version a few years ago and this one is even better! ### 4/5 — Jet skis are the worst *2013-08-21* Amazing sailing app, idreams makes beautiful apps that are chaleging to the mind and fun to play. It's like the original grand turismo but for sailing and with amazing graphics. The only absolutely terrible part is the " bonus" levels have you piloting noisy jet skis. I hate jet skis. They don't belong on the water let alone in this beautifully rendered sailing game. Kill the jet skis in the next update and replace them with opti's or AC 72's. old chis crafts or Rivas would be acceptable power options. ### 4/5 — Needs tilt steering *2013-06-02, version 1.52* Great game. Great graphics. Challenging. Please add a setting that lets the user turn by tilting the device. Steering with the wheel gets funky when your thumb drifts to its center. ### 2/5 — No sound and pixelated on iphone4 *2013-04-27* No sound and very pixelated for some reason on my iPhone4. I loved previous versions but this is a big disappointment! What's the problem? ### 5/5 — Great sailing game -- need more courses *2013-04-13* This is a great sailing competition game, sailing either against the clock (your previous times) or multiple AI boats. Beautiful graphics and definitely a game where you can improve your time as you improve your skill and get boats with better capabilities. I was impressed by the update to the 2013 version in terms of graphics and controls, but disappointed that there weren't new levels or courses. I know these guys have moved on to other apps, but I suspect there others like me who would kick in some extra bucks for new courses and regular updates. ### 4/5 — Wheel *2013-03-27* Would be good if you could let the user move the wheel , I am left handed but this is setup for right handed only... ### 4/5 — Great *2013-03-25, version 1.52* Love it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — とても好きなんだけど *2017-09-25* アプデは無いの？ ### 1/5 — 환불 *2015-03-02* 잘못눌엇어요 ### 1/5 — No Hardness Mode Selector *2012-04-18, version 1.40* This game is way to hard. After buying it, I was only able to complete 2 races and it will not unlock any further courses unless you win enough stars. You have to beat a specific time to win either bronze, silver or gold medals and get a star for each. If you win at least silver on each course, it WILL NOT let you move on. This would be a fun little game if they didn't choke you down with time limits. Stupid and a waste of my money. ### 1/5 — Great game, but should be a universal! *2011-06-08, version 1.40* There is no real difference between the iPad and iPhone versions. Great game but one star for not making it a universal app. I bought both versions so they have my money and a one star review for the iPad version and a great five star review for the iPhone one. ### 1/5 — Frustrating! *2011-04-17, version 1.40* Frustrating and unrealistic. Very disappointed. :( ### 1/5 — Not for sailors *2010-08-16, version 0* If you sail and were looking for a game to come close to simulating what it is like to be at the helm you will be disappointed. This is a racing game disguised as a sailboat. And it is actually hard to follow the line because it moves so quickly. Would not recommend ### 1/5 — Confused *2010-07-15, version 0* These 'new modes' do not exist, and the developer will not reply on twitter or the app forum. This looks like a marketing scam. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2010-04-05, version 0* The slow frame rate makes this game virtually unplayable, as soon as an update comes out greatly increases the lag I will edit my review. ### 2/5 — Confusion *2025-03-10* Where is the plane map ？ ### 2/5 — Schwierig! *2021-09-13* Teilweise so schwierig, daß man einfach nicht mehr weiter kommt, insbesondere die Rescue-Missionen. Da vergeht einem die Freude an einem an sich gut gemachtem Spiel. Schade! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome game - need more content! *2022-09-06* Beautiful game and engaging, challenging gameplay. Please bring this back with some new levels! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2021-04-24* Fully Supporting iPhone 11 Pro Max!!! ### 5/5 — Editor’s Choice Award-Winning *2019-02-17* The graphics are astonishing and the game is well thought out. The most fun and beautiful game i’ve played. Deserves much more good reviews and downloads in my opinion. Where are the award givers? #editorschoice ### 5/5 — genial *2018-11-12* mais trop court ! ### 5/5 — Buy it! *2018-09-24* Nice game, keep coming back to it :) ### 5/5 — Superbe *2018-04-14* Superbe jeu, et surtout félicitations aux développeurs de maintenir et d’améliorer leurs app sur le long terme de la sorte. Fantastique ! Merci 🙏 à vous ! ### 5/5 — Definitely worth the $ *2017-06-22* If you even have a remote interest in sailing, get this. Great game, excellent sailing physics. Money well spent. Challenging and fun. Water effects are amazing (ala Wave Race 64). ### 5/5 — 風を詠むゲー *2015-03-28* SkyForce2014で僕を夢中にさせたゲームメーカーの提案する新たな挑戦…とゆうことで少しだけ遊んでみました。ロープを微妙に引いたりハンドルをくるくる回したりしつつ風力を推進力に変えコーナーでは慣性をコントロールしゴールを目指す涼やかなセイリングレースゲームでした。まだステージ4までの感想ですがコツをつかんでスピードに乗ると超キモチイイ感覚に襲われます。解説が英語ですが簡単なチュートリアルもあり見よう見まねでソコソコ楽しめます。独特の浮遊感やキラキラと美しい水の表現はこのメーカーさんの得意とする所だと思います。暑くなるこれからの季節にもピッタリ♪ ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-08-26* Very addictive game... Even when you've smashed the opposition you can still strive to beat you best times which are represented by a ghost ship. It's one of those games you keep and come back to. I've had this game for a year now and it's definitely one of my favourite all time games. ### 5/5 — Great game… needs more *2014-06-29, version 1.52* This game is super awesome. I would have suggestions for an update though. I would have different types of boats (such as catamarans). And this game would be so much better with head-to-head online racing. Overall great game :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
