Just fantastic
It's a beautiful looking boat and the options for sailing mean you can make it as easy or complicated as you might like. Lots of options for customising the appearance as well. It's really fun to sail.
Just wow!
I fell in love with this boat 30 minutes into the first demo and bought it! Not only is it the most beautiful sailboat out there by quite some margin, it also sails like a dream (does seem to cross sims easier than others too somehow). It feels a lot more realistic than others too, including one of the major brands (which I also like a lot, but the Machichaco beats them!)
What I had no previous experience with but I'm really starting to like is the GLW! After a little bit of reading it's relatively easy to set up your own personal "event" and make wind and water feel much more dynamic.
It's great that it has "easy modes" too, so even complete newbies could get to grips with it as well.
The only minor gripe I have with the boat is the HUD. That is very basic and might be a bit of a hurdle for new or very casual sailors. Gestures/shortcuts are of course the way to go (and there's a good L50 bundle on the MP already to make it easier)
Animations are good for what's provided, but there aren't many. If you want a boat to impress and seduce people who are not much into sailing, or want to show off at Siren's, this probably isn't the right one for you :P
But for those who enjoy sailing, this whole package takes SL sailing to a completely new level.
The boat I was waiting for
Without going into too much detail, I love it. 10/10 :x
Love it!
This is such a well made lovely little boat, very nice features, love the sound effects, textures, and smooth sailing!
Thank you for making this! feels like a lot of love went into it.
Great Yacht and a Wish!
I love my Machi. Every Time a Fun to sail with. One Thing i wish i, seperate Main and Jib Sail. Sailing with one Sail would be nice.. The Sounds are amazing the creaking of the wood.
Very nice boat
Easy to customise, even adding poses is a piece of cake.
Sailing her is very easy, and the flattening of the sail works good when sailing closer to the wind.
The chart on the navigation desk is not corrected, but that did not stop me from buying her.
