*** A highly realistic sailing simulator for the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. ***
*** A MUST HAVE for sailing fans. ***
*** The best sailing game. ***

Have fun sailing fantastic boats in 3D in-shore regattas, right from the comfort of your phone and without even getting wet.

In this game, you will use the wind to move your boat fast and win regattas against other boats. You will be the skipper, the helm-man and will also trim the sails.

The main features of this realistic sailing game are:

- Online sailing: sail against real people!
- Or play in solo mode: youll compete against the computer, with different difficulty levels.
- A perfect way to refine your sailing techniques and tactics, or to learn how to sail in life-like situations.
- For beginners, cWind can coach you from marker to marker, by means of steering helps and progressive tutorials.
- A very complete instruments panel will give you all the data youll need to brew a winning tactic and arrive first on the finishing line. But if you find thats too much, you can switch back to the basics.
- Several boat types, from a 19th century cutter to the latest Imoca 60 footer. And now a new beach catamaran. The boats have their own characteristics and need to be sailed accordingly.
- Several regatta courses, some easy to start with, others very difficult to complete. Some of the regattas are even more challenging than what youll ever encounter on real water! So make sure you choose the right boat for those... and keep her well trimmed at all times!
- The game implements the ISAF 2013-2016 racing rules of sailing. Respect them or youll be penalised, like in real regattas!
- An on-screen radar will show you a tactical view of the course and will guide you from marker to marker.
- Two game modes: pure regattas, or regattas "with a twist", where you will hunt for "magic things" on the course to capsize the other boats, steal their wind, give you a turbo boost, and more...

You will have to use the wind and tidal currents to your advantage. You will steer the boat by tilting your phone, and you will trim your sails yourself for maximum speed.

Fair Winds and Following Seas!

Pros and cons of cWind app for iPhone and iPad

cWind app good for

As a regatta sailor it is an enjoyable distraction though two things could be improved, the pop up screens when sailing are to predominant, they obscure view and create problems, also though most of the rules are correct, The couple the err are misleading and the simulator being a cool learning tool should be in this respect correct in every way. Eg overtaking vessel is oft confused in the program by a xing situation and vice versa..... Otherwise well done

I love sailing thats why I bought this game.But it has way to much bugs so I cant play anymore thats why theres only 4 stars fix the bugs and I will give five

This is awesome. Love almost everything, except there should be laser boats, and 49ers/i14s

Should add waves and rain for real weather conditions. Has a lot of boats but a few more is always better

This is the sailing app I have been imagining at looking for. Excellent simulations and opportunities to apply skills and tactics.

Great app, great simulator, great game.... But most of all great developer team... Thanks for your support, sa i promised i give you. 5 stars

Some bad moments

Good sailing trainer. Fun to use when the weathers to bad out for the real thing!

should have cockpit view but any ways best app ever.also u should add bad weather and or even just weather scenes. you should also beable to take down sails and decide which one to keep up

Great idea, it has a way to go to be perfect but worth having if you are into Sailing.

I like it. This game provides a nice simulation of how sailboats perform. It would be nice to slow the game down a bit, make the mark that must be rounded more apparent, and add wind shifts/lines.

Sail controls are sloppy. Enough with dialogues popping up and BLOCKING YOUR VIEW of the screen. The helpful screen messages are really annoying. Yes I know I could sail faster with a spinnaker... But before the start? Really!?

If you cant get out on the water, u can still hone your strategy. Sheeting interface a bit odd
