Sailwind v0.31

Experience the thrill of commanding your own vessel in Sailwind, a sailing simulator that combines authentic navigation with survival challenges across a vast open world. Master wind and waves—trim your sails, tack to catch the breeze, reef in heavy weather, and brace for sudden storms as you explore tranquil bays or venture into uncharted seas. With six distinct boats available, each handles differently, offering fresh challenges as you progress.

Set off on cargo runs, cast your line for fresh fish, or simply follow the sunset from one island to the next. When you’re ready for a true test of seamanship, upgrade to a larger ship, stock up on provisions, and chart a course for distant archipelagos. Running low on food or water turns every crossing into a high-stakes gamble against the elements.

Navigate by compass, quadrant, sun and stars to pinpoint your location, then plot your next waypoint on the map. The world is divided into three unique regions—each with its own climate, architecture and trade markets. Drop anchor or dock to explore beaches, towns and hidden coves at your leisure, and buy or sell goods to turn a profit.

Make your boat feel like home with a full range of customization options. Furnish the cabin, choose paint schemes, cook meals on deck, polish railings, and at day’s end, settle into a chair with a mug of rum as the sky fades to twilight. Dynamic weather, realistic day-night cycles, shifting economies and a living ecosystem all work together to create an immersive, ever-changing sea-faring adventure.
