Ahoy mates! Are you a good Sailor? Pilot your small sailboat across all the yellow buoys without running aground. Controls are the Left and Right arrow keys. If the hull of the boat hits a rock, you start over and all the buoys are reset. The boat sails very much like a real boat. If you try and point to closely into the wind, you will stall and the boat will start to drift backwards. This condition is called being "In Irons". You can usually work your way out of it by working with the rudder until the boat falls away from the wind a bit, then throwwng the rudder to the other side, once you start moving forward again. It's best to keep your speed up and turn quickly as you are changing tacks (putting the wind on the other side of the boat). Someone has kindly painted the wind direction on the upper left island to help you pick your tacks. The wind direction is random every time you start a new game with the Green Flag. Happy Sailing!
