## What is Windward?

A little boat. Big water. Let’s go sailing.

Windward is a hands-on sailing game for iPhone. Start with a Sunfish, a helm and a mainsheet. Learn to find your wind, trim a sail, tack and gybe, then discover more boats and more ways to sail.

ONE LITTLE LESSON AT A TIME
Follow a winding course map through short lessons and themed chapters. Unlock seven real classes: Sunfish, ILCA 7, Lightning, Northern Michigan Sloop, Snipe, Star and Hobie 16. New boats bring new rigs and controls to learn. Replaying an earlier lesson keeps your place on the course map.

SEE IT. THEN SAIL IT.
Meet Julia, your first mate. Watch a maneuver and preview the course before the countdown. Need another look? Open Help for a hint, an animated refresher or a blue course path. Your boat waits while you learn.

YOUR BOAT. YOUR FINGERTIPS.
Keep the full-width helm within reach. Tap a fitting to choose a line, then ease or pull its glass control. Nearby fittings open into a small labeled menu. Begin with the mainsheet and tiller, then discover jib sheets, sail-shape controls, travellers and spinnakers on the boats that carry them.

DAILY CHALLENGE
Race a shared course in any class you have unlocked. See standings by class or across the whole fleet, with leading times and personal bests. Take another run, improve your line and see how you finish. Game Center and an internet connection are required for ranked daily racing.

A LITTLE MORE LIFE ON THE WATER
Sail from above with your bow pointing up while the world turns. Pinch to see more of the course. Choose technical line drawings or dimensional boats. Fine ripples follow the wind, sails luff as they lose pressure, and boats heel under load. Boat sounds mix with your music, and gentle haptics bring each interaction to life.

MAKE A LITTLE HEADWAY
Cross the finish and watch your earned stars inflate into place. Review your time and points, then head into the next lesson. Keep a personal logbook of nautical miles, sailing time, speed records and achievements.

Sign in with Apple to begin. After signing in, lessons work offline with the catalog saved on your iPhone. Your full logbook stays on this device. The app sends progress and activity reports to our service; full cross-device logbook syncing is not currently supported. Daily Challenge standings are online.

Windward is a game for exploring sailing skills, not a substitute for practical instruction on the water.
