I created this game specifically for sailors, providing an enjoyable experience while also enhancing their skills. The controls are user-friendly, with a simple tap to tack and a long-press to change direction. It couldn't be easier.

Furthermore, players have the flexibility to customize the environment and select different boats according to their preferences. This feature adds versatility and ensures that players can tailor the game to their specific needs.

This game is particularly useful for beginners who are looking to get into yacht racing. It serves as a valuable tool for learning the fundamentals of sailing and gaining practical knowledge of the sport.

About Sailing:

  • Sailing is a wind-powered sport that relies on harnessing the force of the wind.
  • A yacht sailing upwind at an angle of 45 degrees is referred to as sailing "close-hauled".
  • When a yacht sails diagonally leftwards towards upwind, it is known as sailing "starboard".
  • Conversely, when a yacht sails diagonally rightwards towards upwind, it is referred to as sailing "port".
  • The maneuver of turning between "starboard" and "port" is called a "tack".
  • By executing a series of tacking moves in a zig-zag pattern, players can skillfully guide their yacht towards the finish line.
  • Exciting new courses have been recently added, offering even more variety and challenge.

About "Right of Way":

  • In sailing, the starboard yacht always has the right of way. Boats on a port tack must give way to those on starboard tack.
  • If you encounter a starboard boat while on a port tack, you must either tack or adjust your bearing to avoid a collision.
  • When a boat is in the process of tacking, it is required to yield to a boat that is not tacking. Always ensure the absence of any surrounding ships before initiating a tack.
  • Failure to yield the right of way and colliding with another ship will result in a disqualification ("DSQ"), which essentially means "game over".
  • Please note that these rules have been simplified for the purpose of the game.
