This is awesome!
Do you plan on adding different types of boats with varying sailing characteristics?
Adding a multihull could be an amazing second option for those who want to compare downwind/upwind characteristics as usually debated.
Oh and if you ever feel like adding in internationalization to this, I'd love to help with a Turkish translation.

There are some impressive global races [1][2] that happen every few years using some interesting boats, so it would be neat to follow along virtually in this way.
