You are a tactician on a racing sailboat. "Sailing Tactics" is a realistic sailboat-racing simulator. Take "Sailing Tactics" with you, and learn the basics of racing. See how the wind direction affects your position in a race fleet.

A tap on the game screen prompts your boat to tack, a tap & hold prompts the boat to bow-down. If no tacking order is given even when your boat is on port-tack in a collision course, your boat will crash and DSQ. Your boat should bow-down with Tap & Hold.


***Features***
The game simulates an upwind final leg.
The tacking skill can be adjusted. A boat with excellent skill experiences a smaller speed loss in tacking, and vice versa.
You can choose between starboard-tack/port-tack at the start.
You can set the boat position at the start.
Four types of appearance are provided.
