In this new version of Virtual Skipper 5


players take the helm of luxury sailing


boats, racing across the open water of


more internationally renowned ocean


courses than ever before, including


Qingdao, the sailing venue for the


2008 Beijing Olympics.


A sophisticated wave animation model


replicates tidal movement and wind


flurries, forcing players to adapt


whilst racing. Other variables include


day and night settings that affect


climatic conditions and visibility,


all helping to reproduce a realistic


sailing environment. Real life yachts


in the game include the Offshore Racer


and the Melges 24. Both vessels behave


differently on the water, meaning


players must master key racing tactics


to navigate and perfect the courses.


Virtual Skipper 5 lets players compete


at some of the most prestigious global


sailing events, including Auckland,


Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco and Qingdao,


ow widely recognised as the recent sailing


venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where


the Great Britain sailing team won six


medals including four golds. The game


also incorporates an editing system that


enables players to create their own water


courses, providing a variety of different


maps for renewed and continuous gameplay.
