[Rhodes22-list] to Bob - RE Virtural Skipper Game

[Joseph Hadzima]

Hi Bob

Here is the link to a good description of the Virtual
Skipper game.

http://www.download.com/Virtual-Skipper-3-demo/3000-7558_4-10246612.html

It is a race game, more about tacktics, sort of like PC
golf or pool games.  There are commands (key strokes) for
seting the spiniker, raising and lowering the jib, and
adjusting the helm ... you can let the computer do most of
the sail trim, or do more of it yourself.

I have it on CD so, you'll need to send me your snail mail
address (I guess direct to my email if you don't what the
rest of teh wild rhodies to know where you live) 

Good luck on your ASA certs!  OOOPS from your address I
assume you're the instructor not hte student, Are you
looking for these to assist in your lectures /
demonstrations or to train students?  I think the
http://USSailing.Org site has some great tutorials for them
(e.g. Rules of the Road, boating terms, etc.).
