The graphics are amazing and the game does an absolutely phenomenal job of simulating (and teaching) the art of sailing.

It may be a little lacking in depth for the real skippers, but for everyone else into sailing, there's some fun to be had. Probably.
Read Full Review >Loaded Inc
The physics are realistic even though they will probably turn off anyone who is not willing to put in a good deal of time. However, if you have ever dreamed of sailing, this is a good place to start.

Virtual Skipper 3 truly is the Holy Grail of sailing sims, satisfying both hardcore and casual virtual helmsman. [Oct 2004, p.84]
GameZone
This game has some problems but is somewhat soothing. An accessible interface, the challenge of grabbing wind with the right sails, and dazzling sea effects make for a solid experience.

A formidable simulation, but landlubbers are likely to run aground on its steep learning curve. [Oct 2004, p.90]

After 49 years of sailing, I am impressed with what this program can produce. I'm still waitng for a spray can of blue salt water scent but this does pretty swell without it.
