More and more regatta sailors are now sailing online regattas in the realistic virtual 3D environment of Sail Simulator 5.

According to the statistics on sailsimulator.com we have passed the 50.000 matches milestone now as well as 82.000 finished boats. The most popular boat is the 470, followed by the Stentec Laser and the Volvo Open 70. A fierce battle is taking place at the top of the rankings over the first place.

By releasing Boat Set 1 in September, we expanded the amount of boat types to 15, including fast catamarans. The first regattas have been sailed already with these. Meant to be used as a follow boat at regattas ,the RIB is also a popular choice for racing. Mind you, the points with it are not taken over to the (sail) ranking.

Participating in regattas is available for every license holder of Sail Simulator 5. You are online and able to meet other sailors quickly, by double clicking the Sail Simulator 5 Multiplayer icon. The new boats require you to have Boat Set 1.
