CANT PLAY GAME
Crazysk8t3r
ever since upgrading my software I haven’t been able to play!!! I was on a streak too!! I want to give 5 stars but it’s hard to when you can’t play. Some comments are dumb also, change your settings, the game is good enough that if you are good at sailing you can win with just the basics...
Good could be great

Steering isn't an issue, it strikes a good balance between big and small adjustments, that said, Star boats are really responsive - much more so than in this game. - It would be good to post the rules this game follows b/c it breaks many and enforces others which is fine, just post the rules - better yet plug in IYRA rules and we all might learn something. - Big thing: Star boats (and any boat really) will accelerate as you crack off the wind, it should be so in this game, the boat speed should dramatically accelerate as you round up from DDW. Close hauled and dead down wind are in reality the slowest points of sail, not reflected in the game, at all. - Star boats on a downwind leg flop the mast forward and fly a jib pole to weather, wing on wing. - Star boats downwind hike to weather flying the mainsail high in the air, nearly dragging the jib's whisker pole at times. - - Make the Committee Boat point into the wind FFS - it's easy, right? Would be good. - Wait times are brutal - how bout 5 boat races? -Somehow I missed the Excellence Cup and I cannot progress from the Star boats - is it just me??? Anyway great game, make my changes and it will be awesome. C'mon, do it. Thanks
Fun game

Wasting a lot of time playing it. I'd like to see them improve the steering response and give a way to look upwind for the favored side of the course, but all in all it's still cool
Good potential but awful steering and control realism

What in the world happened to your awesome PC engine from 5-8 years ago where rudder accuracy and subtle shifts of boat, rig, or win could move you up or back in the race especially around other close boats? This is sad really. Close mark Roy dings in the cats are like a bad dream when your ruddders snap at over 20 kts. I won't race again until you fix!!
Fix the rules

If you made the rules what they should actually be it would be a 5, but earning penalties when you are not in the wrong gets a little frustrating.

The lag in this game which is annoying for slower monohulls makes trying to sail the new high speed f18’s impossible. By the time the boat responds it’s way too late. I like that you can make rudder changes a degree at a time by tapping the arrows and in theory make small changes to the conditions but again the boat doesn’t actually change direction so you keep tapping and then it finally makes all the change at once, which of course is too much and too late.
Needs some help, but great game

First of all, thank you for making a sailing game. It's a bunch of fun 1. More possible control layouts including left hand. 2. Better penalty system. It doesn't recognize proper room on marks and just overall "room" in general. Once you have penalized someone you are still subject to someone penalizing you. You need to implement more the rule book. 3. More boats, cuz why not. 4. Practice in any of the boats. Not just the star. 5. Better system for ducking someone. It's too clumsy currently. 6. Steering controls. 1 tap 1 degrees good but when you are holding it down, a counter should appear with how much you have headed up or down. 7. LAN would be nice. 1v1 your friend on the same wifi would be awesome. (Or over Bluetooth) 8. More possible courses. (COOL FUTURE STUFF) 1. 2 player. 1 person steers, 1 trims. 2. Reenact real courses with real boats. (VOR inshore races, Olympic stuff, etc. 3. More weather conditions, light heavy, currents, big waves small waves, etc.
Ok, could be way better.

Graphics are ok, multiplayer works fairly well. My main criticisms are: 1) need more course layouts. Wind angles and tactics with current course is getting dull. 2) more windshifts. 3) wider variety of boats. 4) bring back the slider.
