In principle yes, you have to tac to sail into the wind, winds change and you sail at different speeds according to angles to the wind direction and wind speeds but dont get your hopes up thinking this is a hardcore sailing sim. The basics are there but its not realism. Sailing through lightning storms at night, cresting 40 ft waves is fun.

Less of a chance to style on people with my skills is a shame, but at least its better than those islandhopping games where all you have are ""sail""boats.

Ill probably get this then.
