They can be found for sale as games or for free on the Internet to be downloaded and tried.
There are a few dangers though, if you want to build your skills on a sailing simulator.
The danger is that you might end up with bad habits, derived from a badly designed sailing simulator. Even the slightest mistake that doesn't have the same outcome as it would on the sea, can make you form a habit that can turn bad.
Which brings me to another problem with sailing simulators. One should never think that just because he can master a game, he can also master a ship on the ocean. It seems like common sense, but the slightest mistake that can make you restart a game, can prove deadly if you make it at large. Sailing simulators are never a substitute for real lessons and certifications.
But, if you're aware of these problems, then there are quite a few sailing simulator games that can be played, and even compete against others online. If you browse through the internet or do a google search you can usually find at least a few dozen sailing simulators that all have there ups and downs but many are free or have free trials so you can try the game before you commit to any payments.
