## What is SAILORSIM?

Take the helm and sail or motor across the Mediterranean, from the Costa Dorada to the Balearic Islands.

SailorSim is a boating simulator with a 3D view and a nautical chart. Hoist the sails, trim your course to the wind, manoeuvre under engine inside the harbour and moor alongside the pontoon. Or set off on a long passage from Salou to Mallorca or from Palma to Menorca, with day and night passing over the sea.

MISSIONS
- Leaving port: cast off and reach open water without touching anything.
- Sailing: learn to beat, reach and run with shifting winds.
- Salou regatta: find the start line, win the position and round the marks ahead of your rivals.
- Guided sailing: follow the route waypoint by waypoint.
- Docking: enter the harbour and moor with precision.
- Salou coves: cruise the coast among beaches, shoals and buoys.
- Entering Maó harbour: head up one of the longest natural harbours in the Mediterranean to the visitor pontoon.
- Passages: Salou–Palma, Salou–Mahón and Palma–Mahón.

THE SEA AND THE BOAT
- Wind with changing direction and strength, plus an apparent wind indicator.
- Sails and engine, with fuel consumption: if you run dry, use the reserve can, carry on under sail or call for help. Refuel when you reach port.
- Buoyage: lateral marks, isolated danger marks, beach buoys and lighthouses flashing at night.
- Marine traffic: container ships, ferries, yachts and other craft moving around the area.
- Coastline with relief and shallow water: watch out for rocks and shoals, you can run aground.

RADIO AND RESCUE
- VHF radio with voice messages.
- SOS button: send a MAYDAY, get the acknowledgement and wait for the rescue boat, which tows you to the nearest port so you can carry on sailing.

CONTROLS
- 3D view with smooth zoom and free camera: tap a ship or an object to focus on it, double tap to return to your boat.
- Nautical chart showing the mission route.
- Route pilot: "Follow route", and "Back to route" if you have strayed.
- Time acceleration for long passages.
- Restart the mission at any time.
- Save and resume passages.

FOR MAC, IPAD AND IPHONE
Layout adapted to every screen, with all controls available on iPhone too. Includes a full in-app manual in Spanish and English.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-10-20

SailorSim 2.0: a big free update.

OPTIMISED FOR IPHONE DUO
- Open in landscape: a full iPad-style view, with the sails on one side and the engine and helm on the other.
- Open in portrait: split-screen helm station.
- Closed: controls rearranged so nothing is covered or cut off.

NEW i HELP BUTTON
- Yellow button in the top bar: explains every icon and control, and reminds you that you can change the wind and sea state at any time.
- Expanded manual with a new "Heavy weather and damage" chapter.

IMPROVED GRAPHICS
- Salou coast on real terrain: sandy beaches, cliffs and the coves of Cap de Salou, in a comic style.
- Renewed Salou harbour: Club Nàutic, breakwater, beach huts, palm trees and moored sailing boats, motorboats and yachts.
- More detailed yacht: white hull with stripes, swim platform with ladder, steel pulpit and pushpit, sprayhood and mainsail cover.
- Mahón entrance: layered rock, La Mola fortress, the Lazaretto, the Illa del Rei hospital and Sant Felip castle.

MORE REALISTIC SAILING
- Sea state: calm, slight, moderate, rough or very rough. Take the waves on the bow quarter: head-on you pound, on the beam a breaking sea can hit you, and on the quarter the boat broaches.
- Gusts and knockdowns: with too much sail the boat lies over. Ease the sheets to bring her up, and reef in time.
- Breaking seas, a very rare capsize and dismasting: recover the rigging, watch the propeller, and call PAN-PAN or MAYDAY.
- Throttle with an S position (full speed) and a clear "clunk" when you reach neutral.
- Visible anchoring with chain and anchor buoy, and swinging when the wind veers.
- Exact contact with quays, pontoons and moored boats: only the hull actually touching counts.
- Tap the bollard to cast off; in Mahón the boat now lies properly alongside the pontoon.
- "Salou and its coves" now starts under power off Platja de Llevant.

Also: change language without restarting the game, a clearer mooring button and many small improvements.
