Amazing
I got this free boat quite some time ago. Finally took it out today. Impressive!!!
Great sailboat for casual and/or racing
The Second Life Coast Guard recommends this sailboat in their sailboat training division, so I picked up my copy today in preparation for the classes, and I took it out for a spin. It's fantastic to learn Second Life sailing basics on, and can even be adjusted to a higher challenging level for the experienced sailor. I look forward to learning more about Second Life sailing using this little beauty as my learning tool.
nice boat
Very nice boat and the best free boat in SL.
The script is not always working as it should. Sometimes I receive script errors and need to get a copy from my inv.
But hey, its a free boat !
It is amazing for free.
It was a little difficult for me at first. As someone else said this is not a beginners drop and use boat but once you really take the time it is great. You can do just as the manual says and drop it, board it and raise the sail however "Read The Manual". Just keep trying. I swear if I can use it so can you. If you have trouble try and get some help, don't just give up and write a bad review.
unworkable
I read the manual.... i put the boat in the water... i raised the sails....and the boat moves about 10 ft. and stops............. I cannot figure out how to make it work.
