This boat is excellent and a joy to use. Beautifully built and scripted, she performs well. It has a large number of excellent features and the attention to detail adds to its appeal. Of course like any complex item it pays to read the manual and maybe write yourself a "crib sheet" to keep handy although most commands are intuitive. I love the ability to move the crew to trim the boat and the motor is a thoughtful addition for those calm days. The creator must be commended for a superb piece of work and his generosity in making it free too as hours of work must have gone into it.

This is a fantastic little boat once you get the hang of the settings. Excellent detail, handles very well and is a very realistic sailing experience. I have several expensive sail boats and this one is up there with the best. Thank you for this awesome gift.

I've been sailing her for nearly a year now and though I have other boats, the Shields is such a great vessel I almost never sail the others. A relaxing cruiser and fun racer. Thanks, Burt!!

Has some major issues

I took it to Blake sea for a day with my brother. I wore all the HUDs but this thing is slow AF and i couldn't figure out the controls. The sail kept tilting to one side and capsizing us so i just said f*** it and swam to an island. In all fairness it looks great and has a nice decorational charm but Its only 0 L$ so I guess you get what you paid for
