Sailwind

Sailwind is a sailing simulator with survival elements, set in an open world of islands and ocean. You sail between islands on cargo delivery missions, fish, explore or travel for pleasure. You can take a calm trip around nearby islands or prepare a larger boat for a long voyage to distant lands, where storms, high winds and shortages of food or water pose a danger.

Sailing and survival

Sailing uses realistic physics. You tack, reef the sails in heavy weather and adjust your angle to the wind as weather and waves change. The game offers six boats of different sizes and sail plans, each with its own sailing characteristics and performance.

Long voyages require supplies and navigation. You need enough food and water, and can use instruments such as a compass and quadrant to determine your heading and position. You can also chart your position on a map and use the sun and stars to stay on course across the ocean.

Islands and trade

The world spans many islands across three distinct regions, each with its own climate, architecture and economy. You can drop anchor or dock, then explore the islands on foot. Journeys across the ocean can take many hours of real time without land in sight.

Cargo delivery and trading offer reasons to sail between destinations. The dynamic economy lets you buy low and sell high for profit. You can also fish and cook, or visit sunny beaches and clear waters in tropical archipelagos.

Make your boat a home

You can customize your boat with furniture, decorations and paint. Cook food, clean and polish the deck, then relax in a chair with rum or a pipe while watching the sunset.

Changing conditions

The game features dynamic weather and time of day, along with realistic stars, sun and moon. Fishing and cooking are also available.
