A sailing simulator that doesn't require you to download something to your computer. Not very complex but good for playing with mainsail settings.

Thanx Steve, cool site.

If this simulator is C25 Accurate, then I'm sailing with my mainsail too close to centre - I'll try letting it out a couple feet.

Don't think it's a C25 or C250, I hit 11.05 kts at 23kts wind on a beam/broard reach

Thanks! My new bride is a newbie sailor, and this'll really help her see the relationship of sail trim to wind and boat direction!
