Got hooked
I checked the forum before I went to bed tonight. I got hooked on the game and ended up playing it longer than expected. I'll give it a try again in the morning. I hope it dosn't take all day. I sank the boat once. Thanks higgs!

Tacticat Sailing
Hi all, Since the link to Tacticat appeared in this forum a couple days ago some of you have already tried Tacticat [http://www.tacticat.com] and a few are actively participating on the on-line regattas and events. You're welcome to try. Tacticat is a free-for-sailors technical tool to hone tactical skills and to improve the rule knowledgment (and also an on-line game). Only requirements: to have an Internet Connection and Java installed in your computer (go to www.java.com to install if you don't have it). We are open 24x7, with more than 1000 starts a week. Some 20 different sailing fields are available for fleet, team and match races. Unlike other sailing simulators Tacticat is very simple graphics side. The races are sailed using different boats (laser-like, skiff, catamaran and big boat a la Americas Cup), each boat type is used to emphasize diferent aspects of sailing: - wind-shift/tacking synchro - blanketting and shadowing - risk management - tuning/triming aspects... Tacticat is today use in sailing schools for beginners and also for high-level training (olympic campaigns). If you want to try, please, please, read the instructions first. Boat handling is easy but there is a minimum you have to know: - Space bar: ask the boat to go to its best course (VMG-max) - SHIFT key: toggle between the only two sail states (sheeted perfectly/sheet-out) - ENTER: tack or gybe - F1 gives the complete key list. aestela Tacticat Admin.
