Short Description | Be the skipper of your own racing yacht! Whether running your boat with the wind, or tacking back on the return leg, you choose how to run the course to win the race. |
Long Description | A classic 3M board game from 1967. Each player controls a single yacht in the race and must use proper sailing techniques in order to win. The yachts behave properly with regards to the wind. They must tack to go into the wind and make their best speed while broad reaching (sailing somewhere between the direction of the wind and at right angles to the wind). Speed can be increased by raising spinnakers, but maneuverability is decreased. When one yacht blocks the wind from another, the second yacht loses speed. The players maneuver their yachts around the course (which is marked out by the islands and buoys) by keeping an eye on the wind and their opponents. The first player to complete the course is the winner. |
