About this game

Rather detailed simulator control sailing yacht, in which you have to fight in the race for the Cup of America. Two ships participate in the regatta: Australia II and Liberty. If you play against a computer opponent, then you can only control Australia II, and when choosing a live opponent, both ships are available. Before the start of the game, it is allowed to choose the duration of the race and the level of complexity on which the weather conditions and the skill of computer sailors will depend. Since the management of the yacht is not easy, the game provides detailed instructions on how to do this.

The graphics are only monochrome, during the race itself most of the screen is occupied by the map, which schematically shows the vessel and the direction of their movement. Both yachts are shown to the side and back from the side of the map, which makes it possible to visually demonstrate the state of the sails.

Recommend this complex simulator can only sailing fans.
