The team at Sinplicity wanted to create a 2-seater boat that people could use for racing. We decided to keep it slimmed down and light so that it would be low lag and give best possible performance.
But we also wanted it to be a thing of beauty, a reproduction of a classic boat made of wood and chrome, packed with detail and realistic textures.
The Libelle is based on the Berlin III racing boat which was put together by a group of BMW engineers in 1950 using a 2.0 litre Veritas tuned engine.

*** BeavaV8 Script Engine***
The Libelle uses an all new, low-lag, script engine specifically designed for racing. It has adaptive steering which means you will get tight turns at speed with realistic drift. Sim crossing causes minimal problems and you get rocking motion when mored.
It's good, real good! But don't take our word for it, come give it a try at our inworld store.
*** Textures ***
The boat comes with a texture hud which enables you to change the seats, dashboard, steering wheel, badges and overall livery with a single click.
You get 10 racing liveries with this hud. Updated huds with additional liveries will be available at our inworld store for free.

*** Additional features ***
There are working dials for speed and RPM. Hud mode displays your selected gear and speed in Knots as hover text over the back of the boat or over the dashboard if you are in mouselook.
There is a separate pose menu which allows you to relax on the boat, sunbath, watch a race or celibate a win. You can even add your own poses.
So that you can display your Libelle, it comes with a dolly of the type used by boat museums. Just rez your boat over land and type 'dolly'.
Race mode gives the boat an ID which can be used by popular race systems.
Gluten Free.
The boat has a land impact of 30.

Awesome little boat!!!! with loads of power!
I dont know what to say but amazing. Its fast, the scripts are working very well and smooth. The sim crossings are fast and easy going.
In mouselook you get a second smaller text hud so you still know your speeds, plus you can see the speed at well at the WORKING tempo meter!
Als o you can customize it easily with a HUD - that comes along, so everyone is able to get a unique one!
For pictures and more thoughts about this sweet, amazing boat, i can recommend my blog post: http://goo.gl/AxWDvQ
So this boat is really a bargain for how well its made!
Awesome little boat
I'm no racer, or anything... But this ship is great!
The only limit is SL, since this little ship can shoot thru a region in no time, unless you throttle down a little, of course, but...Hmmpf. Also it fits thru almost everywhere, making it an ideal ship for maneuvers, be it docking in tight area's or avoiding collisions out there.
