Small sailboat simulator!
I've just finished authoring a small sailboat simulator for learning the basics of sailing and exploring the physics of sailing. Would love folks to try it and let me know what you think. The help (question mark) icon has lots of useful information to get started. Please comment or DM with your impressions.
Obviously there's upside potential for the future: different hull shapes and dynamics, different bodies of water, race courses, and so on.
