Paraphrased from the Game Box and Rules: The Sailor's Game's unique design encourages competition and interaction among players with different levels of sailing knowledge and experience. New sailors and young sailors will find this a fun and effective way to learn about sailing and cruising while Rod Stephens helps them challenge their more experienced crew mates on topics of seamanship and navigation. Playing yachts are pewter models of Sparkman and Stephens designs and the race course is the Southern Ocean. - BoardGameGeek
