eSail

eSail is an authentic yacht sailing experience, teaching you the complexities of how to sail then allowing you to explore the sea around a collection of islands and take part in challenges and races.
With eSail you learn how to sail properly – which involves raising the mainsail, tacking, gybing, mooring and anchoring. It’s not a boat racing game, it’s a fully featured simulator that should leave you with some understanding of how to pilot a real yacht once you master it.
You’ll learn the ropes then set out in the open waters surrounding the Shearwater Islands and seek out features such as the wreck of the Princess Zara and the Temple of False Hope. Once you’ve mastered the seas you can also take on challenges, such as races, treasure hunts, passage planning and collision avoidance in obstacle courses.
