Great! Im 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

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 Im not going out of the cruising season. It can also help an experienced skipper brush up or improve his skills This ones 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 simulators life-like motion does wonders for the soul Great Lakes Cruiser Magazine, Dec. 96
"Its really helping me with the loran and waypoints, something Im 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
