ABSTRACT:
A sailboat racing board game and game board therefor is provided for racing game pieces through a race course made from contiguous squares. An upwind leg of the race course provides tacking movement for the game pieces can move forwardly against a fixed wind direction. The squares along the upwind leg are oriented in a particular direction so that the game pieces can move in diagonal directions with respect to the fixed wind direction to simulate tacking. While at the same time, the game pieces are not moving in a direction which is diagonal with respect to the orientation of the squares. The game also provides game cards which the players pick up if they land on certain indicated squares on the game board.
