I have heard of flight sims..........but this????

Since we haven't done all that much sailing this winter. Our docking techniques may need some work. Try the link below, but read the directions first. I ran across this article in Sailing magazine, I think. Allow for some play time. Try with no wind or current at first.http://mltsoftware.home.comcast.net/docksim/docksim.html

Now I know why they raised my insurance

I was thinking of going sailing this weekend. After trying the simulator, I think I may stay home this weekend or I know they will surely cancel my boat insurance!

Don't give up just yet

The boat in the simulator is a single-screw planing monohull with an I/O drive, so it won't behave like a typical sailboat. It's still fun though. Thanks for the link.PeterH23 "Raven"

wind or current

What seems to be the biggest influence on your docking ability, wind or current?

I wish my reverse was that responsive

That has to have a 150 horse engine to power it backwards that quick if it was based on a 34 ft boat

Maybe I should sell now !!

I just bought my first "bigger" boat ... a C27. Based on my simulator results (three and out), maybe I should sell her before I even launch. Might save me and the insurance company a lot of time.Tom MonroeCarlyle Lake
