Sailing Game Apps?

Tall Ships Age of Sail

As part of my reviewing of apps created for sailors, I've recently started looking at sailing games. To be honest, I haven't been very enthralled by any so far, but I'll keep checking them out! The app Tall Ships Age of Sail has some interesting historical aspects and good physics as your maneuver your tall ship to fire your cannon at attacking ships. And Sailboat Championship PRO does a good job of representing tacks and gybes on different points of sail as you race different courses, but whether either will ultimately satisfy your gaming self probably depends more on your personality as a gamer than on your interest in sailing. I find another racing game, 3D Sailing Simulator Regatta, more fun and closer to the racing experience. And Little Sailor is better still - a realistic simulation and racing game. What do you think? Have you found a great sailing-oriented game app for your Apple or Android device? Please post a comment if so and I'll check it out!
