Great Training

The combination of sailing a Sunfish (in class), a Soling 1M remote control model, and this app will bring my grandson through the learning curve rapidly. He is 12 years old. The only minor issue is not having a more positive control that you would get with joy sticks.
Great teaching tool! Worth it

Father of two ages 10 and 12. I haven't sailed in 25 years or so and just got a hold of an old 25' cruising boat. This has been a fun for he boys and taught my 10 year old his points of sail in half an hour. This is a good platform that will hopefully continue to offer more and more features.
Very helpful for a first-timer

I'm planning to sail for the first time in about 2 weeks. Ive spent many years using small motor boats and don't plan to spend several hundred dollars taking classes to learn to sail the $500 used sailboat I bought. I've read lots of information and watched a bunch of videos so I thought I had a grasp on the basics from a technical standpoint. This app actually put my knowledge to the test much better than I expected and while I'm probably still going to struggle a bit, I'm going to be way more prepared after getting some feel for the wind and sail reaction. I might provide an update after I take my maiden voyage if I'm still alive.
Set sail with this app!

This app is a great starter for anyone wanting to learn the ins and outs of sailing. Even if all you're doing is watching a sailing event on TV, this app will help you understand what the participants are doing and give you greater appreciation for the sport. The modules are set up well and progressively teach the basics. I have a little trouble with the trim and helm controls, but younger users should do much better than this old fart! I have been sailing for years and can say this app is a great and inexpensive way to get your feet wet and learn whether sailing is for you. Just do it!
Great way to learn!

I'm new to the sailing world and this app has been helpful. The recent updates have made it better by adding more features and more options to use.
Great for kids and newbies

Good way to learn terms and basics allowing you to visualize what you'll do on the water.
Very helpful

Great to review all the nautical terms and right of way rules from ASA certification course. When sailing, quick decisions are needed sometimes to avoid other boats or obstacles and this app helps in making the decision second nature. Also going over points of sail names helps so when people at club are talking port beam reaches and starboard close hauls, my newbie self isn't holding my arms out trying to remember points of sale terms.
Using to teach the wife
good teching tool
I think this is a great app to teach the basics of sailing and concepts to beginners.
Pretty good

I've not yet sailed (for real). I'm looking to get into sailing, and this is a decent "basic" app. Wish there were a way to add a jib & spinnaker so that I can see how trimming more than one sail effects the boat at different wind angles. Maybe a separate choice to sail a catamaran, as I understand there are some noticeable differences.
