DON'T DO THAT.

Tacticat interface is like you were the coach of the boat and were relayed thru radio to the skipper. You give too many orders... the skipper gets mad at you ;D
Good tacticat sailors think in advance and don't type too much. And remember that the SPACE BAR asks the skipper to get on his best VMG angle upwind or downwind and stay there.

The UP and DOWN arrows (asking to get a bit up or bear off) should be used as less as possible, normally to round marks or avoid other boats. Each time you press an arrow your boat is slowed down (as in real life rudder should be used smoothly)

It SHOULD work.
Many users use Mac OS to sail Tacticat (or Linux).

Java version required is 1.5+
The Internet browser has to be instructed to run jnlp files with Java.
