2nd sailboat from Motor Loon's workshop and this one using Mesh for greater detail than you can possibly get with sculpted prims.
With focus on visual details, handling and lowimpact scripting MLCC is proud to present the LOONETTA.
This fully working boat is packed with detail work, and there's no standard building parts used - everything is custom made. You'll find it easy to sail, using the simple Bwind-like system - you can focus on adjusting the mainsail to the wind and everything else is just about enjoying the ride.
A unique pose system was written for this boat, it allows you to remain sitting while sailing - but still be able to change to any pose of the ship. This goes for every passenger it carries, and we've sailed it with 17 passengers at once. The benefit of the system is of course that you often find yourself sailing in water where you don't have rez rights and autoreturn is active - so standing up while underway would have caused your boat to be returned to you.
Boat is no-mod, but - comes with a retexturing system so you can apply your own personal look. Any prim of the boat can be retextured, and it even comes with 7 different "looks" built-in from the factory.

Other cool details are e.g. the working folding-screw, working animated anchor, deployable fenders for docking and a WALK-IN cabin, fully loaded with furniture and even a bathroom. No extra rezzing is needed, no attachments needed to be worn, no HUD's needed for sailing. Everything is ready to go as you rez the 32prim boat!
Note that when all sails are up (because of how mesh impact is calculated) the landimpact goes up slightly (to around 38 landimpact).
Loonetta also comes with a deployable sprayhood and ... partylights hanging from the mast and railing.

Hello, is it possible to change the flag?
The best boat in SL!
The Loonetta 31 is fun, maneuverable and easy to sail for the beginner, novice or professional sailor. It is a quality product that still sets the standard for good SL boat design, even a decade since it's initial launch and release. It's appearance can be modified with RGB tinting or with UUID retexturing - all with the easy built-in boat menu system. When rezzed on land, the Loonetta 31 is supported with a boatstand cradle and makes an attractive display piece too.
Overall, an excellent boat that I am proud to own and sail around the SL seas. *****
Absolutely great!
The boat looks great, the details are made with care and love, it sails great, the menu is easy to manage, it offers many options for the ready-to-use decorations but even more it makes the "personal touch" incredibly easy to achieve even for the clumsy ones. I recommend to check it out In-World because it looks way and way better then the image here on MP. Once I have seen it and sailed the demo I was totally convinced. Of course , not before trying the demos of other major brands as well.Most are very good as well, but when one can have the same visual/technical quality for 32 prims instead of 130 or more, I guess the choice becomes easy. At least it was for me. Loonetta 100%.
In short : I can recommend Loonetta 31 to all who have to be careful with LI [prims] ( in case you can moor your boat inside your own parcel,on water hopefully ^_^) but do not want to renounce on high quality and good fun.
Still great
I got this boat 8 years ago, and it's still one of the best boats on SL so I got one again for a friend,
Shame it never had an update recently, but you won't go wrong with this one, the looks the sailing the poses the sounds everything is just brill.
Great Boat
I bought this boat to learn to sail and navigate whilst fishing, and I am very happy with it. Easy to learn to control, and advanced enough to not be boring. Great customisation options and handles sim crossings better than other boats I have.
