eSail is a highly rated simulator known for its comprehensive learning programme 'Learn Yachting with eSail'. eSail Pro now adds a number of key features to increase immersion with a more detailed boating experience.

With Pro, users get a 15 gallon refillable fuel tank, rev counter and fuel gauge, encouraging fuel economy. Pro also adds an advanced wind indicator showing apparent and true wind, helping eSailors to trim their sails for maximum speed.

A new mooring 'Sandbox' enables sailors to practise their docking and save a mooring scenario. Like the standard Sandbox you can modify wind direction and speed.

The autopilot has also been given new capabilities, enabling precise control and modification of the boat's bearing and angle to the wind. This is very useful in race situations as well as general sailing.

These new features are all supported by new tutorials.

eSail was launched in 2018 and has a 94% rating. "If you're new to sailing this is a fantastic way to learn at home and brush up skills. If you're an experienced sailor then it's still great fun and adventures can be had navigating around using charts or sailing through challengingly tight spaces!" Practical Boat Owner Magazine.

eSail is available for Windows and Mac. See www.esailyachtsimulator.com for more information.
