The Garda Tristar is the accurate replica of a real life luxury craft, the fabled Riva Ariston, created in 1950 by Carlo Riva, owner and designer of the famous Riva Crafts based in Northern Italy. The Tristar is a full mesh (originally made) boat, with a sport streak under its polished mahogany hull and its shiny chrome and leather interiors.
The scripting department has been tested and optimized in order to offer the smoothest possible sim crossing and the easiest handling of the boat at slow or full speed. Engine noises are of the real craft, recorded on site (the builder is italian and resides not far from a marina hosting several Rivas).
The boat is customizable: flag can be changed, as well as the name on the transom (provided a full perms template). The hull, interiors, and fenders can be also painted in 3 pre-loaded themes, mixed and matched to a total of almost 90 combinations.
All this is united to a low land impact of only 30.
And it stays at 30 LI also under power.
A mayday broadcast system calling SLCG has been added!
The boat is provided with a wooden cradle and with a trailer, both mesh as well.
The boat features a custom made rocking motion when the boat is moored, a working cover, and a switchable matress for suntanning. The engine hatch and the fenders work on chat commands, too.

Brilliant Design, Incredible detail!
I own a lot of boats in SL, probably too many but this boat has to be one of the best. There is not another boat in my inventory that crosses sims as smooth as this does. Smooth like butter. Take one for a test drive, I did and it convinced me too get one!. Thanks for a great fun build. Keep building them like this and I'll keep buying them. Brilliant!
Fantastic boat!!!
No doubts it is well done, the mesh are light, the textures sharp, and the boat handles well.
What amazed me is the ease with which it crosses sim borders. Unlike many other crafts, which bounce back half sim, this one crosses nicely even in overloaded sims like Barbarossa or Santa Catalina. Hard to find an issue, on this one,
Fast and beautiful boat
A steal for that price, all shiny mesh, and the engine throaty noise is amazing.
Seldom seen such nice products, and easily customizable too.
Nicely detailed, easy to handle, no unnecessary trinkets, all solid substance, and at a decent price.
Classy boat at its best
Elegant, easy to use, I like the feeling. Low price for this kind of crafts, too!!
Simply the best
Owning most of these kind of boats, I can say that this one overtakes the others with ease. Especially in the scripting department, it delivers what it boasts, no doubt about that.
The mesh are also rather accurate, and the texturing, well done.
Good price, too......surely is worth it!
