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.

Good to demo the effect of wind shift

More a demo than a game. No score or running total. Also the right of way rules don't work. Your starboard boat gets dsq'd when boats meet. But it does dramatically demo the impact of wind shift on the fleet. I might use as a trading / coaching aide so it's two stars for that.
