Ratings and Reviews
Best sailing simulator I’ve found
If you want to recreate the excitement and feel of racing a small sailing dinghy than this app does it brilliantly - it has a great feel to it that keeps you coming back for more...
The wind variations are fairly realistic, the water almost splashes out of the screen - and the dinghy feels like a Solo, although the sail isn’t fully battened on the model. And you can go swimming from time to time, just like the real thing! Races are nearly always exciting - start positions are random and sometimes there’s a bit of catching up to do, hit another boat and there’s a time penalty, you don’t just need skill to win, you need a bit of luck too... and thats just like reality - this sim lets you have bad races as well as good, so you want “just one more go”
Brilliantly done!
Minor comments - don’t understand why the sail lowers in a capsize..., would love more courses and a couple more dinghy classes (a more challenging boat). And random weather across all the race courses.
But this is a wonderful simulation of dinghy sailing and comes very close to capturing the real feel of a competitive race with the right tactics needed to beat the AI competitors...
Addictive
Ok, there are some imperfections and many frustrating moments but it is so addictive. Just finishing it for the second time - need some more races. You can create your own but somehow, not as good. Not sure about the scoring though, the better you get, the more difficult it is to score - lose 10% for coming second (once you are into 95% completed), but only gain 0.6% for coming first - takes ages to build up your score again. Still love it.
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.
