Ratings and reviews

has a fair amount of detail about sailing, and the right concept. But the UI makes it very difficult to have any decent experience. The rudder slider goes across the bottom of the phone and you have to fiddle with it and lose track of it, it's not ergonomic at all. while simultaneously pulling the rope on the side. maybe if you set your phone down on a table flat. could have been executed much better. dev's, please overall the controls, I'll give it a 5

It's good game but I still think you need to update physics to be more realistic like your other simulator as I grew up sailing small dinghies (very similar to the dinghy in top sailor)and none of them reacted to helming the way this does, eg when you gybe the boat shouldn't slow down that much, also should be able to surf waves. the other problem is the AI, as soon as you go to overtake one to leeward, they turn into you and gives you a massive penalty.

As a sailor, I quite enjoyed the game's realism and it is definitely a must-have for anyone who enjoys sailing. (There are more realistic simulators on pc but for a much higher price) The graqhics are pretty good except for the character models which are, to be honest, quite ugly. Unfortunately there are not many levels but the random level creator should keep people busy.
