Sailboat Championship App Reviews

If my real Yacht would have such bad Steering controls, i would wreck it. Work that out and five stars are sure.

At first this game is tough, you should learn the controls from the lite version. But once you play it a few times you start to pick up on how the waves and the winds moves, and how to make sure your boat doesnt end up straight into the wind etc. This is a game that will last you a long time. Its challenging, but just like in real sailing the more you take to the sails the better youll get, and I have seen a significant improvement in both my virtual and real sailing skills since I bpught the game. Great graphics, great gameplay, tons of levels and races. I wish the sailors aide would be visible all the time.

The slow frame rate makes this game virtually unplayable, as soon as an update comes out greatly increases the lag I will edit my review.

Very pleased with this game. Strategy, wind, boat....it has it all. Dont think you have to be a sailor. Any strategy or racing fan will love this app.

Let me start by saying that I love this game and that everything included in it is top notch. As someone who grew up sailing and racing sailboats I think you did a lot right. But... I think a few additions would make tis game perfect. 1. A true start to each race with the boats trying to time their starts perfectly. This is arguably the most intense part of sailboat racing. 2. Wind dead spots and stealing wind. If Im on a reach between the wind and my competitor, it should slow him down some. 3. More tracks that are longer. I know an iPad game isnt going to have a crazy amount of content, but the tracks arent exactly the most complicated thing in the world. More would be nice. Regardless, I love this game and recommend it to any sailers out there or anyone interested in a strategic racer.

This is a great game, with great graphics. The only issue I have with this game is how impossible it is to gybe without slowing down to a complete standstill. If the developers could change this, and maybe make it a bit easier to advance to the next level, this would be the greatest game in the App Store.

This is a real treat. Its a little tricky to advance to the next stage, but Im OK with that because it is so fun and intuitive to play. Big question is, where are these new modes?? I cant seem to find them anywhere.

First and foremost, this game looks and sounds great. But once that novelty wears off, youre basically left with one mode of play that must be mastered in order to unlock features that should be more readily available. The manual control scheme definitely hard pickup, but thankfully the game offers penalized assistance with the mast. Perhaps nautical experience IS required to fully appreciate the patience of playing the same maps repeatedly, cause Im missing the fun.

I have no experience with sailing whatsoever, but I really enjoy this game. The sailing is tricky, but it wouldnt be as much fun if there was no room for improvement. Lots of achievements to strive for, many unlockables, smooth video play, great graphics and really nice soundscape. Recommended for anyone who likes water-based games.

These new modes do not exist, and the developer will not reply on twitter or the app forum. This looks like a marketing scam.

This is one of the best games I have ever played on any platform. It is very simple to learn but pretty difficult to master. Anyone with any interest in sailing should check this out. It is well worth the money.

If you sail and were looking for a game to come close to simulating what it is like to be at the helm you will be disappointed. This is a racing game disguised as a sailboat. And it is actually hard to follow the line because it moves so quickly. Would not recommend

This is a lot of fun. It isnt a sailing simulator, it is a really fun sailing game so dont get hung up over how accurate it is. Great graphics, good controls ( though I would like to tilt the ipad to control the sail ).

The new modes are at the end (bonus races) and are pretty cool considering they are pretty different than the whole sailboat racing experience. The graphics are great as are the boats. Pretty cool game, there are few games that keep me going through the whole thing, and now Im working on bettering my best times and making the boat faster with bonus points. Great game, very much worth the money!!!

You will love this game if youre a sailor!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

I grew up sailing and this feeds my addiction of wind, water and speed. Please add a tiller option! Steering needs just a little tightening. Please keep supporting this app!!!!!!

This is lots of fun! Waiting for sailing season to start. This gives me a nice taste in the mean time. Suggest tiller option. Glad I purchased. Worth the $3!

Frustrating and unrealistic. Very disappointed. :(

... it doesnt make sense to stall on gybes. In real life, this just doesnt happen. You may loose some speed by not doing it correctly, but you never get on irons when running. It also doesnt make sense to sail faster when you are close hauled than when you are running. It seems that they can easily correct these mistakes, but otherwise game is fun and addictive.

There is no real difference between the iPad and iPhone versions. Great game but one star for not making it a universal app. I bought both versions so they have my money and a one star review for the iPad version and a great five star review for the iPhone one.
