SailSim - Sailing Simulator
A downloadable Sailing Simulator for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
As a Live-Aboard I wanted to create something anyone could use for learning, as well as for those rainy days when going out to sea is difficult but you still want to sail. The simulator was created to provide sailing knowledge in a fun and intuitive way. The main goal is to have fun and learn something along the way. Hopefully that goal is being achieved with every update i make to the simulator.

Can you make a windows version!
There is a Windows version already :) It is available here as a standalone version and on Steam if you want connectivity :)
I didnt know that Thanks!
SailSim will launch in Full screen by default on start up. However, i haven't tested much the performance on Linux due to limited resources. If the frame rate is low only during actual sailing and not within the UI, try changing the "Graphics" settings to speed things up a bit. Specifically try disabling Water Reflections, Simulated and lower the World Scalability (i have mine at half)
I'm getting an unplayable framerate on Linux. I'm wondering if it's because the program is running windowed. Is there a configuration option to force fullscreen?
