Originally evolved from fishing boat designs to get a Master pilot out to incoming merchantmen ahead of the competition, pilot cutters were fast, seaworthy in all conditions and sailed with only a small crew.
Lili's Yard is proud to introduce its modern take on this classic design: the Bantam class.

I must record my immense thanks to my friend Jero Ramo for all his fabulous scripting help, to my Second Life landlady Claire for all her support, encouragement, scripting and modelling assistance, and to Jonny Slim my long-suffering Beta-tester.
Download instructionsWonderful!
Love it sooo much!Definitely worth it.Realistic feeling with pretty nice model.Wish you add interior model in future updates if possible
excellent work
beautiful old gaffer, with atmosphere, sailing realistically, low prims, hud working fine, she will make you sail with attitude, i love this boat though i have many others; it has smooth sim crossing, just stand and sit again to get your sit at the helm; nice sailing feelings with reasonable wind and wakes;kiss docking with sails down; you can modify the painting and even the height over the water level at anchor; this is a generous gift from the builder, many many thanks !!
Very Pretty Boat
It looks good and sails well. There isn't a prettier boat on the SL seas.
