Little Sailor (Windows Mobile) description

Little Sailor is a sailing, surfing and motorboat simulator for mobile devices.

Little Sailor is a sailing, surfing and motorboat simulator for mobile devices. Take Little Sailor with you and learn basics of sailing anywhere! See how wind force affects the sail and test your skills against AI opponents in a yacht race. Learn how to trim the sails to make the most use of wind energy.
