Description

*** A highly realistic sailing simulator for the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. ***
*** A MUST HAVE for sailing fans. ***
*** The best sailing game. ***


Have fun sailing fantastic boats in 3D in-shore regattas, right from the comfort of your phone and without even getting wet.

In this game, you will use the wind to move your boat fast and win regattas against other boats. You will be the skipper, the helm-man and will also trim the sails.

The main features of this realistic sailing game are:

- Online sailing: sail against real people!
- Or play in 'solo' mode: you'll compete against the computer, with different difficulty levels.
- A perfect way to refine your sailing techniques and tactics, or to learn how to sail in life-like situations.
- For beginners, cWind can coach you from marker to marker, by means of steering helps and progressive tutorials.
- A very complete instruments panel will give you all the data you'll need to brew a winning tactic and arrive first on the finishing line. But if you find that's too much, you can switch back to the 'basics'.
- Several boat types, from a 19th century cutter to the latest Imoca 60 footer. And now a new beach catamaran. The boats have their own characteristics and need to be sailed accordingly.
- Several regatta courses, some easy to start with, others very difficult to complete. Some of the regattas are even more challenging than what you'll ever encounter on real water! So make sure you choose the right boat for those... and keep her well trimmed at all times!
- The game implements the ISAF 2013-2016 racing rules of sailing. Respect them or you'll be penalised, like in real regattas!
- An on-screen radar will show you a tactical view of the course and will guide you from marker to marker.
- Two game modes: pure regattas, or regattas "with a twist", where you will hunt for "magic things" on the course to capsize the other boats, steal their wind, give you a turbo boost, and more...

You will have to use the wind and tidal currents to your advantage. You will steer the boat by tilting your phone, and you will trim your sails yourself for maximum speed.

Fair Winds and Following Seas!

Best Sailing App But

By far the best sailing app on the store, but a few bugs. The sailing rules are not always correctly applied. For example, AI boats on an opposite tack change direction suddenly sometimes causing a collision, thus not keeping a proper course, overtaking boats need to give room to clear (can’t luff up straight after overtaking) etc. And start is made more difficult due to random course changes of the AI boats. But still a good game. Just loses a star due to the glitches. Would be nice one day to include waves

Best sailing game

This is the best sailing game that I've come across for iPad. Still lot's of room for improvement the main issue being - as has been pointed out before - that messages flag up right in the middle of the screen. It would take very little to fix but would improve the game a lot. However the sailing action is excellent and not a bad simulation of the real thing, but warmer and drier!

Great Fun

This is an excellent simulator and worth every penny. I'm thoroughly addicted to game and have spent many hours trying to improve my racing strategies and techniques. It's certainly not easy and I suspect it challenges most players to consistently win over the many courses. I gave it Five Stars as its an excellent game, however I do feel the app can still be improved. The AI skippers do erratic course changes and sail straight into you even though they are in the wrong. These need to be Improved so you can make appropriate decisions yourself. Would like to see more challenge applied in the higher levels such as gusts and wind shifts, put a bit of chop into the water and I'll give Ten Stars. Would love to see more people lining up for online multiplayer games, hopefully this will improve as more people buy Cwind
