Tin Regatta

Read the wind — aluminum sailing!

Sail an aluminum boat across six increasingly demanding race courses. Master the physics of wind; you can't sail directly into it, and beam reach gives maximum speed. Navigate buoys on the correct side, fight shifting gusts and water currents, and avoid capsizing at extreme angles. A ghost boat races alongside for reference. Real sailing strategy in a can-themed package.

About Tin Regatta

Tin Regatta is a free online sailing game across six race courses that escalate in demand. You cannot sail directly into the wind. Beam reach gives maximum speed, and you must navigate buoys on the correct side while fighting shifting gusts and water currents. Extreme lean angles capsize the boat. A ghost boat races alongside for pace reference. Real sailing strategy in a can-themed package, which is rarer than it sounds.

How to Play Tin Regatta

• Steer with left and right arrows.
• Angle the sail into the wind. Direct upwind is blocked.
• Find beam reach for maximum speed.
• Pass buoys on the correct side.
• Finish the course without capsizing.

Features

• Six race courses of escalating difficulty.
• Realistic wind physics.
• Buoy-side passing rules.
• Ghost boat pacing reference.
• Capsize risk on extreme lean.

Tips and Strategy

• Tack in a zig-zag to make headway upwind.
• Lean carefully. Capsizing is a full restart.
• Currents push you sideways. Compensate by heading slightly off course.
• Beam reach is faster than downwind runs. Chase the crosswind.
