Testimonials:

"There is absolutely no reason for anyone that loves sailing and has a computer not to own this game. Awesome is an understatement. 4 different boats and they all have completely different sailing characteristics. The simulation of the water and waves is phenomenal. As you pick up speed, the wake gets longer. As you go up a roller, the boat slows down, down the other side and you speed up. Winds shift, current, storms it is all there."

"This game is a great on value and good otherwise. The graphics paint quickly and the realism of the experience - changing sails, direction, etc - really can teach you some of the basics of sailing without actually being out on the open water. Overall, a good game."
C. Schwartz (Houston, TX)

"This is the killer of all sail simulators. Choose from ACC to Offshore to Melges. Make your own courses from several sailing areas. Choose the right sails (Jib, Gen, Code0, Spin) for the right wind or point of sailing. Full ISAF sailing rules"

Considered to be the ultimate in nautical simulations, the Virtual Skipper series has enjoyed huge critical and commercial success over the past few years. Take part in thrilling regattas aboard world-class boats on a sea surging with realism in single- and multiplayer games. The latest version of Virtual Skipper is packed with features that will delight all sailing fans, the highlight being a magnificent campaign dedicated to the America's Cup. The game enables you to skipper the finest competition boats currently available in over 14 different ocean water courses; the settings for the most prestigious international competitions. The America's Cup may represent the fantastic highlight in this latest edition of Virtual Skipper, but the other classes of boat have not been forgotten! Players can therefore take the helm of four types of competition boat, each behaving differently on the sea, in specific campaigns or in multiplayer mode on the Internet. If the 12 official Class America boats are the stars of the new Virtual Skipper titles, players will appreciate the variety offered by the inclusion of other types of boat, such as the Trimaran Open 60, the real formula ones of the sea, the Offshore Racer and the Melges 24.
