Ascaron Entertainment today announced the UK release of Virtual Skipper 5, a game which lets players compete at some of the most prestigious global sailing events, including Auckland, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco and Qingdao, now recognised as the recent sailing venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where the Great Britain sailing team won six medals. Players can choose the appropriate level for competition depending on their experience. For knowledgeable navigators there is a tactical mode, whilst novices can enjoy the arcade or ‘no rules’ mode, utilising the game’s editing system to create their own water courses.
