>My simulator is by Stentec BV and it is simply called "Sailing Simulator". It is fairly accurate and has a lot of controls. The neatest part is the controller which consists of a small plastic wedge with a tiller on one end and a slide for adjusting the main sheet. The reason it can put so much into the accuracy of the model is that it doesn attempt to do racing, only cruising. It is a DOS program and is probably not available anymore.
