Seize The Helm And Test Your Seafaring Savvy....

Alone against the computer, or as a group on your local network and on the Internet, you'll be steering a 24-foot boat, a 45-foot boat or a Class America. It's up to you to follow the changes in the wind, use sailing tactics to get through puffs, lulls and currents... faithfully reproduced on the prestigious stretches of water Trinity on the Sea, Cowes or Auckland. The computer is the veritable referee because it judges all situations in real time to determine who has or does not have priority. It is a great way to learn racing rules on virtual boats and stretches of water.
