It's winter where I live and I constatly find myself gazing out the window at my H-20 as it sits under wraps waiting for summer - until I opened my Christmas present. Along with a very nice drysuit was a copy of Virtual Skipper 3. Since installing this computer simulator I have raced in more than 20 events in everything from an AC boat to an open 60 tri against sailors from the UK, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Italy. Those who scoff and say, "toy," are those who have not tired it. Tactics and "virtual" handeling are remarkably accurate, from a loss of speed and pointing ability while in someone's lee, to difficult tacking in the Open 60s.
Has anyone else tried this thing and what do you think?
