Interessant

Petit jeu sympa, parfois peu difficile, mais peut être bon apprentissage; il manque l’affiche des termes de navigation, d’autres voiles, mais aussi de la balade dans d’autres décors (îles, côtes, navires…). Bref une bonne base pour un jeu qui reste à se developper 😉

Super jeux mais quelques bémols

Jeux super cool et intéressant mais il manque des bateau et aussi si on pourrait changer de voile sa serait vraiment bien et de vu aussi vu première personne serait vraiment cool Mais sinon super jeux 🎰👍👍👍🙌

Sailing

Brilliant game it’s so realistic. The variables such as wind strength adds to excellent piece of work. All credit to the developers. It would be great to have more courses in future I’ll certainly pay a premium for them.
