Virtual Regatta is an online sailing race simulator that is played in real time. The game consists of participating in an offshore sailing race on a virtual boat on a map representing the race course. The player has to choose the best route and sails most adapted to the weather conditions and points of sail of the boat. With this in mind, the game mimics the experience of a real skipper (sail choices, tactics, tacking, jibing and weather routing). Boats advance according to a system of repeatedly updating the position of the boat. The player has to handle their boat in real-time from a computer or a smartphone (Android and IOS) Virtual Regatta organizes approximately 15 races per year, and 70,000 to 480,000 people participate in each race.〔("Winning the Volvo Ocean Race Virtual " ).
