Sailing simulators

Can anyone recommend a decent PC sailing simulator? I'm wondering if there's anything that is detailed and sensitive enough to show the effects of all sail controls accurately for a keel boat. Has anyone tried the software offered by this company? http://learntosail.net/

North Sails University...

NorthU makes some really good software. Their cd-roms show the effects of different trim controls on sailshape, and how stuff works. I've got the Racing Trim, Cruising, and will be getting the Racing Tactics cd in the mail soon. It's worth checking out as an option.
Just my 0.02

I've got no affiliation (Seth would kill me :argue: ), but I've learned a ton from their stuff.

Yeah, the northU software isn't bad. It's not as good as going out and messing around with those same controls on the real thing. But if you want to get the gross basics down, that sort of program is a good start.
