You are looking at the HMS Bandit. High detail, low land impact and 100% mesh. Its inspired on tall ships like the HMS Bounty and the HMS Surprise, so although the model represents a late 18th century corvette, its by no means period correct and is best compared with still existing tall ships that are used for training purposes or floating museums.
Greatest length over all is 47.5m inc bowsprit, the length over deck is 30m, the greatest width is 12.7m and about 10m over deck. the main mast stands some 30m tall, so although its relatively light weight at 188PE you would need at least a properly shaped 1024m2 lot to keep it.
The HMS Bandit has full walkable physics, and below decks you will find the master stateroom, crew quarters, the mess hall and the great cabin at the stern. It has all opening hatches & doors, and you are even able to take a peak in the hold.
Most parts of the HMS Bandit are modify, inc the sailing engine, so you will be able to retexture, tweak the sailing characteristics and add your own animations and decoration. All textures and UV maps come included. You will also be able to adjust all the poses in the boat with an easy and intuitive to use menu based setup.
When you click on the HMS Bandit you will default to the helmsman pose but you can sail the boat from any pose available. In theory you can sit as many avatars on the boat as there are poses. We have tested up to eight and were still able to make problem free sim crossings.
The sailing engine is BWind 1.37 based with the square rigger modifications made by Falcon Ulrick. It behaves like a tall ship, in a way that you have to plan ahead for a tack and tight turns. If you are familiar with the BWind you will have no trouble hopping on and sailing off into the sunset, but it will take some practice to get the most out of it. the BWind hud is located just aft of the main mast and is best seen when sailing in mouselook.

HMS Bandit
This beautiful ship is well worth the money and cheap at the price. She's been built with care and attention to detail and has superb accommodation below decks for families or as a sail trainer or, simply, as your home. She's amazingly easy to sail for a square rigger as long as you remember that you can't sail close to the wind. She comes with excellent poses for skipper and crew all of which are easy to adjust for your avie.
All in all, if you want a proper ship, the this is the one. I can't recommend it enough.
