More levels please!

Wow I finally unlocked every level. This is a beautiful, and realistic sailing simulator. It would be fantastic to have a "free sail" level with changing conditions so I could practice and teach basic maneuvers (tack, jibe, etc.) It would also be fun to have a level with a larger version of the ship or maybe a dinghy to see how the boat reacts in different situations. Thanks for many hours of fun, and hopefully more!

Great game!

This is a great game if youre a sailor, or if youre learning sailing. There are a few things that could make the game even better, though, such as a tiller option, jib option, and go anywhere/adventure mode. It would also be great to add online multiplayer.

Great fun

Learning the "ropes" takes awhile, but excellent game overall. Only up to 3rd level but impressed with intuitive controls. I race Radio Controlled sailboats (6 long model of 12 meter) and I have finally found a landlubber substitute, Thanks, and keep updating the sim to refine its realism.

Wish it was slower with ARCADE or SIMULATION mode

Menus got me really excited. Looked like it was awesome. Then the game started and became a bit cheezy. I wish it was slower... Much slower... So one could really work on angle to the wind. Its so fast that it feels more like a motor boat. I also dislike the ding ding when passing a bouy. I was hoping for slow and relaxing. I had just bought sail sim and virtual skipper for pc and was really hoping it would be more like those sims. I think it can be done... Look at train sim. I know this isnt a sim, its a game. But I still think it should have more of the feel of sailing. Maybe it will get better... I just started playing. Hoping i can control the sail myself that may change it more from steering to sailing. update... Just found that sail helper was on by default. Better with it off... But still way to fast and squirly. Change cheezy rushing wind sound to the sound of cutting through waves. The current sound is like diving 100mph in a car. Biggest wish... That it was 90% slower, allowing more fine Control with steering and sheet control. Player could choose arcade speed or sim speed at start menu! I own and sail 3 hobie 16s.

HARD!

This game is fun but very, VERY hard

Nice but crashes

I loved the app but it crashes after the second race! When I get two stars, the screen just goes completely blank.

No Hardness Mode Selector

This game is way to hard. After buying it, I was only able to complete 2 races and it will not unlock any further courses unless you win enough stars. You have to beat a specific time to win either bronze, silver or gold medals and get a star for each. If you win at least silver on each course, it WILL NOT let you move on. This would be a fun little game if they didnt choke you down with time limits. Stupid and a waste of my money.

What a fantastic update!

Im running this on my iPad 3, and I have to say that Infinite Dreams did an incredible job on this update! The graphics update is stellar! It went from being a really nice and interesting game to a showpiece game. The additional tweaks in the gameplay balance have made this feel like a completely different game to me. Honestly, Infinite Dreams could have packaged this up into a new game and asked people to pay, but instead they took care of their existing buyers and made this a free update. Great job, Infinite Dreams! Thanks so much for this update!!

Fantastic Update

Long one of my favorite games, I always thought the graphics were pretty good to begin with, but wow, the latest update is night and day. Amazing job.

Awesome!

Wow! Really fun and realistic! I am a sailor and found this game to be the best sailing game I have ever played. Great graphics and sound effects along with neat music. Worth the money!

Great game!

Incredible game with awesome graphics! IDreams know how to make cool games!

Great

Really great application. I hope idream will add multiplayer option and more stages.

Good game

This game is well made, it feels pleasant to sail on my iPad. Still, control is hard, need to practice a lot! Two concerns: 1 With the newest update, the second mission chapter disappears. 2 I hope I could race with my friend, not just compare scores. Anyway its a good game, worth the price.

Update isnt necessarily an upgrade

I had Sailboat pro 2010. Great fun. 2013 update generally has the same courses. Missing: the bonus courses with the airplane. Frankly, I thought they were the best part of the game. Graphics are improved for the new version--went from excellent to even better. Prettier. Still no tiller steering option. Overall, I highly recommend.

Great sailing game -- need more courses

This is a great sailing competition game, sailing either against the clock (your previous times) or multiple AI boats. Beautiful graphics and definitely a game where you can improve your time as you improve your skill and get boats with better capabilities. I was impressed by the update to the 2013 version in terms of graphics and controls, but disappointed that there werent new levels or courses. I know these guys have moved on to other apps, but I suspect there others like me who would kick in some extra bucks for new courses and regular updates.

Needs tilt steering

Great game. Great graphics. Challenging. Please add a setting that lets the user turn by tilting the device. Steering with the wheel gets funky when your thumb drifts to its center.

Jet skis are the worst

Amazing sailing app, idreams makes beautiful apps that are chaleging to the mind and fun to play. Its like the original grand turismo but for sailing and with amazing graphics. The only absolutely terrible part is the " bonus" levels have you piloting noisy jet skis. I hate jet skis. They dont belong on the water let alone in this beautifully rendered sailing game. Kill the jet skis in the next update and replace them with optis or AC 72s. old chis crafts or Rivas would be acceptable power options.

I love this game!

Best game on the iPhone!

Great balance of fun and accurate sailing!

I am both a casual gamer and have sail experience. This game delivers a nice balance of realistic sailing with creative audio/visuals and fun gameplay. The game feels quite polished too (as you know that can be a rare thing in the AppStore at times). I hope they keep updating this app with more levels. Very fun!

Great game… needs more

This game is super awesome. I would have suggestions for an update though. I would have different types of boats (such as catamarans). And this game would be so much better with head-to-head online racing. Overall great game :)
