What Our Customers And The Press Say

Distance Race Sailing Challenge:

Advanced Racing Simulator:

“Very challenging and rewarding simulator. I have not been bored in over a year and a half of intense racing.” S. Jones
“The physics, controls, and interface are excellent” G. Montcalm
“Excellent, challenging, and fun. …I’ve already learned a lot about sail trim sailing “dry” on ARS.” S. Norris
“I really enjoy your simulators a great deal. I’m constantly impressed by how well they reproduce the sailing experience.” B. Carter
“Great Simulator – the number of options and levels keeps interest up.” J. Green
“It’s been great fun. Dennis Conner better watch out… I’m getting better each day!” M. Chandler
“Great! I’m already racing better!” J. Mahaney

Sailing Tactics Simulator (formerly Tactics & Strategy Simulator):

“Sailing Tactics Sim ... is my favorite because of the wide variety of options you have to set up interesting races - anything from a short course in a Laser to an overnighter on an offshore keelboat, all in fleets from 2 to 30 boats and in varying wind conditions.” Sailing World Magazine, Dec 99/Jan00

“This is far and away the best simulator available for the racing sailor interested in improving his tactics.” Sailing World Magazine, Dec 96

“I am a serious racer – Excellent tool.” D. Mahan

"I own Sailing Master and Sail 95 simulators – yours is the BEST!” J.Chapman

“Love the game and play it constantly; it is very well done! (My wife wishes I’d never heard of it.)” M. Doell

“This thing is great! Very realistic … I hope to improve my starts without having to frostbite!” J. Robinson

“I think that the realistic responses to wind, tide and other boats and pre-start tactics are excellent. I also like the flexibility of viewing.” F. Pawley

“On the whole – love it! Wealth of detail – lost of fun. Thank you!” D. Martin

Coastal Cruising Simulator:

“Every couple of years, Dennis Posey revises and improves what I have always felt to be the best cruising software around…This software just keeps getting better… What it is, is a very complete and complex cruising simulator that lets you experience and practice for the worst the waves can throw at you…It can help an experienced captain train the beginner at home and by doing so, take some of the fear and the “I’m not going” out of the cruising season. It can also help an experienced skipper brush up or improve his skills…This one’s a winner for the gift list!” Great Lakes Cruiser Magazine, Nov. 99

“I highly recommend this program to any land-locked or wannabe sailor.” Internet Review of earlier Windows version, http://204.117.207.9/wpug/CoatsalC.htm

“Very high educational and entertainment value.” S. Jones

“More challenging than I expected. Very close to real-life situations. It helps keep in practice during the winter.” F. Rosaco

“Great program – am learning a lot!” H. Stearney

“The simulator’s life-like motion does wonders for the soul” Great Lakes Cruiser Magazine, Dec. 96

"It’s really helping me with the loran and waypoints, something I’m not familiar with. I finally managed to dock in the cross-wind. My boat is moored in a cross current and I have some of the same problems.” H. Jobe

“Should get me through the wet weekends and winter. Will definitely help my skills!” R. McCabe

“Wonderful learning experience. Please keep these programs coming!” D&L Dixon

Sailing Dynamics Instructor:

“This sim from Posey is sort of a Sailing Basics 101 course, although more experienced sailors will find some challenges here, too. The focus is on specific skills, such as steering with the sails or a man overboard, and you can repeat situations until you understand the principles involved. There are also racing skills to learn in this sim with tutorials in sail shape, rules and tactics … (and) the online coach.” Sailing World Magazine, Dec 99/Jan00

“Good to demonstrate to my family / crew before and after outings.” H. Rott

“Good practice in visualizing how to handle sail conditions and appropriate tack, point of sail & trim.” G. Kollar

“Excellent product – a great learning tool!” W. Brans

“As a sailor beached for the last eight years by multiple sclerosis, your Sailing Dynamics Instructor is helping me to relearn skills to prepare me to sail again next spring.” M. Lotterio

“Love the product – the improvements over previous versions are well worth while.” W. Preisman

“Keep up the good work! Very impressive – excellent realism – very much enjoy your work!” T. Willings

“Very effective simulation. Lots of challenge!” S. Johnston
