nice boat but!
I really like the boat, very nice design, textures and details.
And if you just want to sail it you good to go with this boat.
But (and it's a big but!), if you like to modify your boat with poses and animation it's a nightmare.
I really don't understand why the creator choose not to use the full possibilities of AVsitter 2.2.
Instead of this there is mix with own scripts and AVsitter.
It's such a pain to add/modify poses/animations to this boat!!!
Also all the helm sits cannot be rotated and you need to dump every single sit position and copy it into the special text file.
Adding and modification poses/animation are so easy with AVsitter, look at all the bandit boats from the mesh shop.
I was very delighted when I saw there is a new boat creator but this mess with own scrips is a big disappointment.
WORTH MORE THAN 5 STARS
This yacht is nothing short of amazing , not just with it's looks and detail , but also how it handles .So happy i purched it . Thank you for making my SL much more enjoyable .
Truly a wonderful sailboat!
I own and have tried many sailboats in Second Life. Often, they are lacking in design features, sailing features, too complicated for the average SL sailor or too simple to be realistic. I happened upon this boat by accident but, I'm very glad I did. Offers a very generous 90 minute demo model to get a taste of this boat. Easy to sail if you're a novice or want to make it more challenging with some simple changes in the HUD requiring more attention and interaction, it's a great sailing boat either way. Lovely to look at and a joy to sail. All smiles here!
Very nice boat.
Love the smoothness to sail and meshes very well done.. just a hull is a bit low poly mesh, but very well done.
Wonderful Achievement!
A very impressive craft indeed. Needing almost no head scratching and leaving no puzzlement! It's ease of use is only superseded by it's refined detail and beauty. The other great thing is the responsiveness of the customer support team!
lady friendly
I love those animations designed for girl avatar. Finally, I have a boat that my fingers always on the wheel on steering and my feet do not need to floating in air. And I also love it simplicity, do not have unnecessary animation for entertaining guy.
