I found this...
Virtual Regatta Offshore.
Sail a maxi yacht across the oceans.
Real Time weather (sort of)
Start any time during race period.
Location, time, speed, heading etc. in real time.
Race against 30,000 plus sailors.
Advice on sails, heading etc. if needed.
Auto pilot while you sleep.
Free to play.
Solid graphics on low end machine.
3D (looks good) and map view.
My first race was from LA to Honolulu. It took me 6 days 11 hours to complete the course coming 6,296th out of around 44,000 entrants. It was quite exciting nearing the finish line. Perfect game for long isolation.
You only really have to check on your boat occasionally to set a new heading depending on winds. The wind direction for the entire trip is shown effectively on a map and you can check forecasts (of wind streams) up to days in advance to catch favourable winds and set waypoints if you like.
Next race starts in a little over 3 days. From France to St Barths in the Carribean with a landfall somewhere down the West coast of Africa.
I found it very enjoyable.
