Description
This boat- and harbour-simulator for docking and undocking under engine serves as a realistic trainer for skippers. The idea and the creation comes from an enthusiastic sailor.
The simulator helps to improve your skills in safe manoeuvring of sailing yachts in different environments such as in narrow spaces in ports and marinas, using the prop walk as well as the effects of crosswind and current. It also allows to handle lines and fenders.
Besides the playful character of this simulator game the learning effect is creating the most value added for users. A range of different scenarios with various levels of difficulties are available for selection.
Uncomplicated visual onscreen help with short text guidances passes on the basic principles to get a feel for the handling methods. Optionaly the Pro-Version offers wind and current to be modified. For advanced users we provide a scene-editor via in-app-pruchase.

Ratings and Reviews
Great and cheap way to save your boat
This app is worth every penny. The boat handling is very realistic and gave me the confidence and skills I needed to dock my sailboat without damaging others. I only rated 4 stars due to kamikaze boats and the difficulty in tightening/lengthening lines. I’m looking forward to playing with the scene creator to replicate my local environment.
Many options,great simulator
This little simulator allows for so many variables that you can "play" the same scene numerous times. Wind speed and wind direction and the same for current are adjustable;the combinations are almost endless. As well as the scenes. While it might seem very straightforward to guide the sailboat down a narrow curving fairway, add a good crosswind and swift current it becomes very interesting. The sailboat does respond to pro walk and a burst of forward. No water flowing across the rudder in reverse-no steerage. Very well done and well worth the price!
Realistic and humbling
Boat physics are great, can adjust wind and current. I was able to pick a 14 m saildrive boat similar to my 15 m boat currently wintering in Greece. I get to work through many scenarios which is great training because you can never be too prepared for docking in the Med! It requires patience and a subtle touch, just like a real boat. Much less expensive than practicing on the real thing in the real world!
