Yes, I couldn't get it to work on an IPad on 3 different browsers, which will make it far more likely that I'll hit land.

It just seems to be blind luck to me.. If you couldn't tell it's not going to well for me.

the controls on the left of the screen should enable you to judjr angle vs speed. In the current conditions I reckon 40deg is about right. Bear in mind that this'll change with wind strength, both up and down.

Jumped 20000 places by actually getting moving. Suspect the other 86000 places will be harder..... So do you know how this game works? All I did was bear off 40 degrees to the wind from 30 and that got me going. Don't actually know what are the tacking angles of Open 60s.
