A browser-based sailing simulator where you steer, trim the mainsheet, reef the sail, and manage changing wind and sea conditions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The page models sailing through separate steering, sail-trim, and reefing controls rather than reducing the activity to a single direction input. Its instrument panel exposes boat speed, VMG, apparent wind, heel, and leeway, while the conditions menu includes wave height, gusts, wind shifts, fog, rain, squalls, and gales. Help text connects those controls to recognizable sailing decisions, such as easing the sheet when bearing away and reefing beyond roughly 30° of heel.
