Wanna set sail on A catamaran???

When the SPEEDFREAK in you wants to come out? :twisted:
Still not sure if cat.sailing is what you want...?
Sail Sailsimulator, yes the water doesn't make you as WET as for real.
Then you can realy imagin how its like, ONLY...
On a real catamaran you get wet till the BONE.
Sitting nice and cosy/warm behind your PC. it's fun to sail with!
Like ALL of the BOATS add in to it, characteristics are all different!
Cats could make an 'das U-bote' move(ver realistic)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most important trims(crew weight to) does serious make matter...
Mylar/Pentex main/jib with an asymetric spinnaker are realy nice shaped.
The spinaker is enclosed into a sniffer(for a quick stow)
How BIG you make the waves, you wont get a drop on your shoulders(Only non-realistic feature).

IF you think, 'a real cat.=expensive every year'.
Yeah it's different but the Stentec software is thereby a nano-fraction of totall costs!
Every year a new version or addon to sail the BEST of the best.
Nevertheless, i think it's the most realistic and nicest software online for sail!
IF you try this software, after that then you can't call it a game anymore...
At the same time, no boom could smash your head.
The regatta's you can make real or with a fantasy leg whitin...

Try before you buy?

The Laser is one of the simple rigged boats(nice 2 sail)!
But with the DEMO you can feel properties 4real!
Sceneries are HQ. and mighty to sail in.
Water doesnt make you WET but looks like real splashin water!
Most important trims(crew weight to) does serious make matter...
Mylar/Pentex main/jib with an asymetric spinnaker are realy nice shaped.
How BIG you make the waves, you wont get a drop on your shoulders(Only non-realistic feature).
With DEMO you can join regatta's...
BUT, read regatta rules & be polite!???

I love your post!
Definitely a great boat to sail. I have a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI=Dwarslaessie) and as long as you spill extra wind, you don't have to hike = YOU WILL NOT WIN and it is still a lot of FUN (in REAL life and in SS).
Cheers!
