## Description

I built this game for all sailors. It uses simple controls: tap to tack, long-press to set your direction. You can adjust the environment and boats to suit practice or fun.

The game teaches sailing basics and race etiquette, including upwind close-hauled sailing, starboard and port tacks, and the right-of-way rules. Avoid collisions to prevent DSQ (disqualification) and master tacking to reach the finish line.

## Review summary

The app is a fun, teaching-friendly sailing sim with realistic wind behavior and largely rules-based AI. It scores for accessibility and quick practice, but recurring downsides include fiddly steering, limited free content, occasional AI/rule glitches, hard-to-read wind data, and occasional ad/network interruptions.

### Pros

- Fun and engaging, and serves as a solid teaching tool for wind shifts and sailing rules; rules are built in and the AI generally follows them.
- Realistic wind direction and wind shifts add depth to strategy and make decisions meaningful.
- Simple, quick race format that’s easy to pick up and great for practice.
- The AI behavior is largely realistic, contributing to a believable sailing experience.

### Cons

- Steering controls are fiddly and can be buggy; the two control modes aren’t ideal and players often want the option to disable tap-to-t tack.
- Content is limited in the free version; players want more courses, boats, obstacles, and a proper regatta/multiplayer option.
- Occasional AI and rule-enforcement issues around mark rounding, buoy room, and starts (inconsistencies when applying rules).
- Wind data (angle/shifts) is hard to read at the small-scale UI.
- Ad/network interruptions can block progress for some users.
