PBO Christmas gift guide

The eSail Sailing Simulator is among our picks for great-value presents

Fun, virtual sailing for both newcomers and experienced sailors, the eSail Sailing Simulator for PC and Apple Mac teaches you how to sail a 36ft sailing yacht and explore the sea around a collection of islands – see our tried & tested on p57.

In ‘Live Sailing’ mode you are subject to continually changing weather and sea conditions. A ‘paper’ chart module enables a course to be plotted using dividers and other charting tools. An early access price of £14.99 is available on the Steam digital distribution platform until early 2019.
