Welcome to SailX

SailX is a free sailing environment where users race regattas virtually.

This environment was created several years ago by sailors for sailors. Mainly intended as a training tool for sailing rules and regatta tactics it soon developed into a full on-line environment and a game.

Sailing is free but if you register you will be able to name your boat, access more fields and use the protest system.

You can also buy a subscription, that will get you a ranking world-wide and access to exclusive events and more racing modes.

To know more about SailX you can browse our Wiki (take also a look to the options sliding down under the Info menu on top).

Although starting immediately to sail with us is possible we recommend you to spend a couple of minutes learning the basic keystrokes, this flash tutorial will help you .

We are a very active community, our Forum is the main commincation tool. Dont be shy and ask there whatever you want to know about our environment.

We honestly welcome you. We're happy to have new members. We ask only one thing from you: to act in SailX as you would do in the real water.

Enjoy!

New Protest Procedure

We do have a new Protest Procedure. ALL SAILORS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT.

The most important changes are:

+ The pre-hearing period

+ The RAF (Retire after finish)

Please go to the Protests page in our wiki to know about it.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: If a protest is filed against you and you don't post in the protest thread the system will automatically rule against you after 48 hours

Thx.
