✓ Many options,great simulatorThis little simulator allows for so many variables that you can "play" the same scene numerous times. Wind speed and wind direction and the same for current are adjustable;the combinations are almost endless. As well as the scenes. While it might seem very straightforward to guide the sailboat down a narrow curving fairway, add a good crosswind and swift current it becomes very interesting. The sailboat does respond to pro walk and a burst of forward. No water flowing across the rudder in reverse-no steerage. Very well done and well worth the price!.Xsf1Version: 1.6

✓ Actually helped me in real lifeThis app proved to be a good training app to help me understand the affects of prop walk etc when docking a boat in real life. Suggest this for anyone who is starting out on a bigger boat!.MagsfromOZVersion: 1.6

✓ Best in class!Note to Developer: I have the full version of both 2-D and 3-D App’s. They each offer something a little different to boaters. This one is _still_ Fabulous. Please Don’t stop supporting it. —— Absolutely the best Boat motoring docking (or casting off) sim out there. The developer _obviously_ is a real sailboat owner who knows what’s really happening around marinas! If you are a skipper that has poked your head out of the cabin to remind a frustrated guest to “slow down” as you enter a channel at 2.5 knots, then this App will seem very realistic. I single-hand my 30 foot sailboat all the time. Sailing is easy, but motoring and maneuvering around marinas can be hard. This sim is great and I’ve had it for 2 years. You get more out of this App the more you play it (and the longer you’ve owned your real boat). The tutorials were ok but too challenging in my opinion. Don’t get discouraged, because the Gold in this Sim is the ability to create-your-own “sandbox” scenario. You can replicate marinas, and drive the boat around to practice docking. You can practice moving fenders at different spots around the boat. Experiment throwing lines at different angles and sequence. Try driving against a dock at different rudder angles and throttle. You can change current and wind; the scenarios are realistic. Then to leave the marina, the Sim lets you setup fenders and ease off the lines gradually to simulate a slipped line. My reason for finally writing a review was this morning I created a scenario replicating a local marina’s crazy pump-out location deep inside the marina. The pump-out is so hard to get to, it’s as if they don’t want sailboats to use it. I took a aerial photo off the internet, replicated the marina, took a 30 foot sailboat with prop-walk and started practicing “what-if’s”. (Tip: you can edit existing tutorial scenarios to make creation faster). I have the new 3-D version of the app too, but this 2-D version fantastic if you are a real sailboat owner. Honestly this App is not so much a tutorial. It’s more of a toolkit like the Navionics chartplotter app that I look at weekly. In retrospect, I should have used this App to replicate unknown destination marinas before a trip to practice the approach to transient slips.._k_6Version: 1.6

✓ By far the best boat berthing sim on the AppStoreGreat boat physics, challenging scenarios, the ability to use lines for docking and springing off and to modify wind and current, by far the truest simulator of boat manoeuvring on the App Store..SonobuoyVersion: 1.6

✓ Very realisticExcellent simulation, very realisticc.HaveMuchFunVersion: 1.6

✓ Amazingly RealisticThe boats actually respond to the controls just like a real boat, and the situations are very well thought out. I'm not much of a gamer, I prefer sailing, but this is a great learning/teaching tool, even for expert sailors..BjenkoVersion: 1.6

✓ Realistic and humblingBoat physics are great, can adjust wind and current. I was able to pick a 14 m saildrive boat similar to my 15 m boat currently wintering in Greece. I get to work through many scenarios which is great training because you can never be too prepared for docking in the Med! It requires patience and a subtle touch, just like a real boat. Much less expensive than practicing on the real thing in the real world!.Larrydoyle23Version: 1.6

✓ Very realistic, love itThis app simulates keelboat physics including prop walk and spring lines. Controls are difficult however. Moving fenders is frustrating and line handling equally so. If devs improve controls, this will be a 5 star. I already use it for teaching close quarter maneuvering..Hanson24Version: 1.6

✓ Excellent simulatorHandles surprisingly like the real thing and really gets you thinking about and planning for the affect of wind, tides, etc. Have emailed developer as I can't work out how to drop anchor. Well deserved 5* as essential for yacht skippers and crew..Y24Version: 1.6

✓ Great simReally good sim very realistic overall great app.Boats.co.ukVersion: 1.6
