Yeah, the simulation is very simple. Align sails with wind direction for more speed. I did 14kn when irl the boat would have gone backwards.

I’m prly not the targeted audience, sailing for more then 30 years.

I was initially quite excited to play it until I read your comment. I'm in the same boat (hurr), been sailing for 30 years and teaching it for at least 20.
