Very real everything! The only thing is the one mobile kick you out of the regatta room if you check a notification or something out of the game

Worst game ever

There are stupid kids named Jacob how don’t know how to sail and they cheat, it doesn’t reflect sailing

Best sailboat racing game out there.

This is by far the best racing games (sailing) on the App Store. It hits on all of the key aspects of racing; fighting for a good start, wind shifts, wind shadow, vmg, etc. The only areas that could use some improvement are the rules and how a penalties are resolved. The basic rules are all there, port/starboard, windward/leeward. I think the rule accuracy at mark roundings could be improved. If I remember correctly a boat has no rights if they are head to wind until they have established at least a close hauled course. Also, (someone already mentioned this in a review but I agree) penalties are payed off immediately with a timed speed reduction. It works pretty well, but it kind of incentivizes sailors to force a penalty rather than sail their proper course. In real racing penalties can be fulfilled by doing circles at anytime between when they occur and when the offender crosses the finish line. I think this should be added into the game, at least for the non foiling boats. My only other comment is that the game is on the verge of “pay to win”. There are certain advantages that you can buy with game tokens. The tokens can be purchased or won and it’s not to hard to win them. But, let’s be honest real life racing is also very much a pay to win sport so think what you want... At the end of the day, if you have been racing for years, just learning to race or just learning to sail; this is a great game for you.

Dislike Update

boo123zoom

I have really liked this game a lot on my iPad before this most recent update. I used a keyboard, but with is new update, the fine tuning I was able to achieve with the arrow keys changing my heading by one degree at a time was awesome, and has completely gone away. Now when I use my arrow keys my boats heading changes by 15 degree, this completely ruined my whole game. Please add better support for keyboard on iPad.

Please fix bugs!!!!!

This game is great, but it’s so frustrating when you can not steer left for no reason, when you round a mark and it doesn’t register, or when in the middle of the race every boat just starts doing circles and there’s nothing you can do about it. And meanwhile you used up your coins trying to get the upgrades and you can’t even finish the race. I really hope this gets fixed because I love this game so much, but these problems started happening after the recent update and it makes it unplayable.

Great game could be better!

Love the competition in the game. Definitely great strategy practice. The game would be improved by having more variety of courses, a compass that worked to read wind shifts, and more variation in wind speeds across the course. Leeward boats should not be able to steering upwind just to cause a penalty on the windward boat - in real racing boats are required to sail the course and avoid collisions.

Good game but really mad

I love this game but it seems everytime i try to turn left i i cant. It only happens on certain legs to and it has gotten so bad i have been losing races a ton because of it so if someone could please fix this that would be much appreciated. Thanks

Protest issue

"."--

The game should punish people who protest over “x” times. Competitive racing is a war of stupid fouls..

Best game ever!!!!!

This is the greatest game I have ever played l. It is so fun. It reminds me of Racket Ball.

Constantly crashes

MP65

Constantly crashes and costs me money. Customer support is always very slow to respond and hard to find. Racing in a series is pointless as every crash of the game results in a DNF and gives max points. I really wish it was a better game, I run more advanced games on my iPad like the F1 series with no problems.
