You should be able to install Crossover to run Sailwave on the Chromebook - I understand it’s in the Google play store and it was available free of charge. If it’s still free I don’t know.
I know someone on the forum here has installed Crossover and had Sailwave working on it with a Chromebook.

To answer some recent questions about what I’ve tried…
Yes, I had originally tried using the Crossover app, but it crashed the same way someone else had described, and I understand from that discussion that it just uses wine underneath it all anyway.
Yes, I had tried proceeding with just “wine”, but got this:
it looks like wine32 is missing, you should install it.
multiarch needs to be enabled first. as root, please
execute “dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update &&
apt-get install wine32”
I tried executing that (I assume it meant to prefix the command with “sudo”), but got:
