We are pleased to announce on October 14th 2009 Apple released SailSim v3.0.2 for sale on iTunes for iPhone and iPod Touch. This is another major upgrade that sees full manual control of the simulated yacht including wheel or tiller steering, main sheet and jib sheets. The physics engine has been rewritten to incorporate the excellent sail power model developed by Mikko Brummer at WB-Sails.fi in Finland. This means that you can now model YOUR OWN BOAT!

Please visit iTunes and search for SailSin or check out the details at our website www.thedigitalforge.com/iPhone 

Can anyone tell me what it is worth and how I would go about selling it?

It is beautiful, all brass, in great condition.

I'm relatively new to sailing and am absolutely hooked!  Would anyone care to advise me on which cruiser to purchase if I plan to do some off shore sailing, say , from Florida to the Bahamas or up the coast to New York.? I'm asking for advise on size, and which brand and style of boat would be the most SEAWORTHY!! Speed is not that important. - Thank you all very kindly.

I'm studying design technology Alevel and i have decided to make a hand held, pocket sized rope cutter. Any Contributions, ideas, or past experiences and just anything that anyone thinks is usefull would be helpfull. I need to focus mainly on the key aspects desired by boaters for this kind of product,  .

Many thanks

Don't ask me how, but I pulled my halyard from my masthead the other day. I laid down the mast to more easily get it around the sheave. I have been working on it for two days and cannot seem to get the line around the sheave and into the mast. How do I fix this problem and if I ever get the line into the mast, how do I get the messenger line to the deck? It's a 23 foot AMF Paceship.

need lots of help.
