Tackmere: Sailing Regatta

A sailing regatta on a lake: tack into the wind, run before it, ride the gusts and beat three rival boats through numbered gates. Eight regattas with islands and wind shifts, gold, silver and bronze times, and your best line sailing beside you as a ghost. Free, no ads, no tracking; tap or keyboard.

Tackmere is a sailing race on a lake. Steer a dinghy through numbered gates against three rival boats and let the wind do the rest.

You cannot sail straight into the wind, so upwind legs are a zig-zag of tacks; the boat is fastest with the wind across its side.

• Eight regattas with islands, wind shifts, gusts, rocky passages and two-lap courses
• Real points of sail: a no-go zone upwind, fast reaches, slower runs
• Gust patches that drift with the wind and give extra speed
• Three rival boats that pick their own tacks
• Medals and a ghost: every regatta has gold, silver and bronze times; your best line sails beside you as a ghost, with split times at every gate
• Pick any regatta you have reached to chase a better medal
• Steer by tapping the water, or with the arrow keys
• English and Bulgarian, best score saved
