You are a tactician on a racing sailboat. "Sailing Tactics" is a realistic sailboat-racing simulator. Take "Sailing Tactics" with you, and learn the basics of racing. See how the wind direction affects your position in a race fleet. A tap on the game screen prompts your boat to tack, a tap & hold prompts the boat to bow-down. If no tacking order is given even when your boat is on port-tack in a collision course, your boat will crash and DSQ. Your boat should bow-down with Tap & Hold. ***Features*** The game simulates an upwind final leg. The tacking skill can be adjusted. A boat with excellent skill experiences a smaller speed loss in tacking, and vice versa. You can choose between starboard-tack/port-tack at the start. You can set the boat position at the start. Four types of appearance are provided. ***How to play*** 1. Launch this game. 2. Your boat is circled. 3. Tap the screen; then, the race is started. 4. If you want to tack, tap the screen. 5. If you want to bow-down, tap and hold the screen. 6. Sail your boat toward the finish line, which lies between the buoy and flag on top of the screen.
