Super fun if you fix it
This was the first boat I got in SL & still one of my faves. She's easy to sail, which is great for beginners, but also pretty fun & fast. The only trouble is, like a lot of Bandit/TMS boats the scripting is super unreliable, so a lot of the time when you cross a sim border the cam & animation scripts break. When that happens she basically becomes unusable, cause it's kinda hard to sail when the camera won't stay behind the boat. If you buy this boat head on over to Uggo's Labs & get his fix. If you ain't comfortable modifying the workings of a boat, buy a Sjogin instead cause it's never gonna break.
most fun thing in sl
yep! i said once and ill say it again. most fun thing in sl.
its takes a lil to get use to but once you get a few commands under your belt
