Go Sailing !
With Spring finally showing up here in the Northern Hemisphere, It's time to think about getting back out on the water. Here is a sailboat simulation for your enjoyment:

Read the Project Notes and remember to always wear your life jacket!
For those of you who saw it earlier, I have improved on the artwork considerably.

Re: Go Sailing !
I sail on Cape Cod (Massachusetts) every summer and how the virtual boats sails (Points of sail, jibe/tack, etc.) is very similar to how an actual boat sails. Great Job!

Re: Go Sailing !
Thanks, relyt1201 and coolstuff.
I don't do a lot of sailing myself (I'm a kayak guy) but I have a little sailing experience. Also, I did some research on how sailboats respond to the wind as it approaches the boat from different directions. I'm glad you find it convincing!
