There's another online nav game with which some may be familiar: Virtual-loup-de-mer.org
French website but most interface is available in English. It's not as graphically fancy as Volvo but seems to be more for 'serious' nav players. I have been on and off it over last 10 years and some of the same dudes are still there . . . Free and ad-free always works for me. A bigger race like VOR or Vendee will get over 1000 entrants. The interface is good and it's accurate, ie good charts, but if you want a nicer looking GUI there are some apps such as Frogtools which work with the website. With that and Ugrib you're all set.
