Awesome

This game is helping understand when to tack and the favored side of the corse and all that

Good to demo the effect of wind shift

More a demo than a game. No score or running total. Also the right of way rules don't work. Your starboard boat gets dsq'd when boats meet. But it does dramatically demo the impact of wind shift on the fleet. I might use as a trading / coaching aide so it's two stars for that.

いいんだけど、

シンプルだけど面白い。
ただ、タック中やスタボとポートの明らかに権利が明確な接触でDSQがとられるのはちょっと頭にくる。
それと相手もフィニッシュはちゃんとフィニッシュラインを意識させれないのかな?相手がフィニッシュラインきってないのに負けるとこれまた頭にくる。

でも、ヨットレースの基本を覚えるには非常にいい!

Good for teaching importance of using wind shifts!

To make it really good it would benefit from inclusion of 'dirty air' effect on boats on leeward quarter/ lee bow.

まじかよ
