Wonderful boat
I got this boat by recommendation from NYC sailing friends. It very pretty boat. I tried it out all evening and night until it was very late. I will learn to get in under control for SURE! Thank you for offering this ship!
Great & quick small sailing boat
It is a great pleasure to sail with that sailing boat (better use no diesel version to avoid crashes).
Us ethe HUD to adjust configuration like wind settings.
Better use an additional compass to adjust direction and sails tuning in addition to color coding.
This boat can be modified to customize texture to your wish.
Here is a nice example of texture update: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Classy-wood-texture-for-Shields-V2-sailing-boat/25712795
Enjoy and fair winds

I've never sailed before in SL. This was a great intro boat, and I'm in love with how it handles.
There's definitely some bugs. There's an ongoing script error with the 'crew' spot, but otherwise, this boat has lovely lines and is probably the best free boat in Second Life.
Boat
It's a boat that does boaty things in a very boat like fashion, I'm happy with it and not sad it's in my inventory
Excellent boat, not just for newbies
This is a wonderful starter boat. It took me a while to figure everything out (because the HUD tells you what to do but not why to do it, people who sail in RL would have a big advantage here) but having got it all working I am enjoying it greatly. The only reason I can see why I might buy a "big boat" is to have a choice of social sitting/etc positions. Highly recommended. I also recomment the SL Sailing Academy school, this and other boating groups are full of friendly and helpful people.
