What is Sailaway III?

Sailaway III is an open-world sailing simulator set across the globe with real weather. You navigate, adjust your sails, and choose between long voyages and races organized by virtual sailing clubs. You can sail alone or with others; the base game includes two boats, while additional player-made boats are sold separately.
