Has anyone found any sailing software for the xbox or computer that simulates Sailing? Is it any fun? How does it look?

My sailing simulator consists of me standing on the patio on a windy day and, as I gaze off into the distance with my hair blowing in the wind and with thoughts of waves beneath me, I have my kid mist my face with water from a spray bottle. On days when I feel like bluewater sailing, I put saltwater in the spray bottle.

Come on up to South Dakota, with the temp at a minus 20 and the wind chill at minus 60. The mist from the spray bottle may be a little hard in just a few minutes. It doesn’t take long for things to freeze. Of course the neighbor kids will be hitting you with snow balls as you stand on the patio.

I like this one.

It's pretty cool. You can get a free copy, but cant race the computer. If you have more then one PC you can race each other. The crew talking to you can get annoying. After playing, my son would mimic the game by saying... "Captain, your in irons, fall off." last summer.
