About Our Sailing Simulators

Thank you for asking about our sailboat simulators. We offer three different sailboat racing simulators, a learn to sail simulation, and a cruising simulator with both cruising sailboat simulation and cruising trawler simulation.

Our sail simulators aren’t just computer sailing games or sailboat racing games with pretty pictures floating across your screen. They are serious, realistic sailing simulators that provide an opportunity to improve your skills. Realism and variety have been our goals, and we have improved both over the years.

Your boat responds realistically to wind and water conditions and to your commands. Racing opponents in the computer know the sailboat racing sport well. Highly variable weather forecasts and various shorelines impact your wind and wave conditions.

The three sail racing simulators, a cruising simulator, and a learn to sail simulator:

  1. Sailing Tactics Simulator: Improve your sailboat racing tactics and strategy skills by competing in fleets up to 30 boats in numerous sail race areas. Many racing sailboat choices. Two-player option. Emphasis is on sailing tactics and strategy. Limited sail trim adjustments. Automatic computer controlled crew movements.
  2. Advanced Racing Simulator: Simultaneously improve your skills of sailing strategy, sail race tactics, sail trim and crew weight placement. Very intense sailing experience! Many boat types and sailboat race areas.
  3. Distance Race Sailing Challenge: Experience overnight and longer sailing races with many real world sail race areas and many racing sailboat types. Emphasis is on sailboat racing strategy.
  4. Coastal Cruising Simulator: Enjoy and learn from this sailboat cruising simulation. Trawler cruising simulation also included. Many cruising areas and boat types. Improve skills with navigation equipment, docking, anchoring, anchorage selection, and handling emergencies.
  5. Sailing Dynamics Instructor: This sailing instruction software combines realistic, detailed sailboat simulation with several interactive tutorials. It is intended for novice or intermediate sailors. Emphasis is on improving skills of sailboat handling.

Technically, our simulators are "top-of-the-line." This guarantees you will not become bored after a few sessions!
