Rules of the game

The goal of the game is to complete tracks as quickly as possible by passing through all gates. You may want to avoid using motor (and fuel) and only use the natural power of the wind. Each track requires at least two laps to complete, and lap average time is computed. Avoid collisions as these will add a penalty time (+2s for hitting a buoy, +60s for capsizing). When two yachts collide, the +60s penalty is divided proportionally to their speed.

To pass through a gate, you have to cross the line between the red and the green buoys with the red mark on your left. The hint arrows that are displayed in front of your boat serve as a suggestion – you do not have to follow them if you decide that another route is better.

When the hint arrow turns red, it means that you have passed through a gate in a wrong direction; you will have to go back and then pass through the gate correctly.

Before you start the race, plan your route depending on the weather conditions (wind strength and direction), and location and order of gates (shown on the "start race" screen). Use zoom buttons when necessary. Tap and drag to pan view.

Try to avoid dangerous areas (shoals) as they decrease your speed and boat stability. Do not collide with islands or you may capsize.
