8 of 11I've been waiting for this!!! Amazing intricacy and realism. Very satisfying for accomplished sailors and racers. Worth the money bcs nothing else like it exists! Great job!!
This is nit good. I never write reviews but thus needed one. It's not made with any directions or tutorial. There is no menu once you start a race so you cannot exit once you start. There is no overhead view so you know where you are on the course. Good idea but it seems about 1/2 done.
This game is the best, just 1 problem, you should be able to do more than fleet racing. You should be able to have 6 people in 1 game on wifi for teamracing or fleet racing. Also add more coarses like a trapazoid or even add more boats. Otherwise, it still gets a 5 star from me, but please keep those in mind.
wow, look at these incredible screenshots. I think i played this game on my first nintendo console. if you have the imagination of a 5 year old then maybe this will do it for you. there are really no good reference points no wind indicators... i can go on and on. If you dont want to believe me. try this out. after a good wet wed buy one of your crew members a drink. tell him how this new sailing game you just got is so awesome and it has wifi capabilities so you can race together. do not disclose that you havent downloaded it. have your uninformed crew buy the app and take a gander. Unfortunately, when i did this i was then asked to buy the rest of my table a round for having wasted my buds 11.99. truth be told this game could be awesome. look at virtual skipper and or even the free online volvo ocean race. If you are a serious sailor this will not impress you.
Cool game!! :-) looking forward for more updates!! Looks better every time!!
Where do I start? With the price, 11.99 really? Come on, Im pretty sure Im mental about sailing, but Ive flipped my gourd over this "game"... This is not a good or even helpful simulator. Where is the starting gun, RC boat, compass maybe? Where's the wind indicator? <br/><br/>Please do a little better than this "not even Beta" POS that I got suckered into DL-ing....<br/><br/>I hope you use my 11.99 to go buy a clue
This is simply the best sailing game on the iPhone to date!
Actually downloaded it by accident while I was looking at it. Actually not bad but needs a few things to make it worth 4.99 let alone 10.99. <br/>Needs a wind direction along with the wind speed readout, or possibly show a changing color to the wind arrow as you get in the groove upwind. Maybe a compass with the wind arrow on it. Hard to tell when you are beating closehauled. Reference virtual skipper. <br/><br/>Need to be able to pan the view around the boat to be able to see competitors.<br/><br/>Slow the game down or at least provide a game speed option. the boats are to fast, it's sailing after all. Game feels to fast. <br/><br/>Series scoring would be nice. Maybe a best of 5 or 7.<br/><br/>Show puffs and lulls on the water- maybe too much for this platform but possibly on the helicopter view.<br/><br/>These things could make this a pretty cool sailboat racing game.<br/><br/>-just updated. Much better! Compass is fixed. Many improvements. Graphics better. Feels much better. Still would like to have the touch arrow steering an option for solo racing. Maybe add a keelboat, or IACC boat. AI sometimes goes off and doesn't round a mark. Overall a fun racing game with still more potential. Keep up the improvements! Good job!
