Fisher Boat with sculptured hull and sails!
This unique sailing boat is scripted to provide the ultimate sailing experience on SecondLife waters. A newly developed script implements full natural sailing physics.
The boat is steered from the keyboard assisted by a HUD controller. You have control of the motor, sails, and wind and get a set of advanced instruments to help you navigate.
The ship moves realistic, and has turning sails, sounds, and splashing waves.
The owner is the only person who can control the ship. Additional four seats are available for passengers.

HUD Controls:
MOTOR SPEED – This display shows the speed in RPM that the motor shaft is running at.
BOAT SPEED – This is the actual forward speed of the boat in meters/sec.
APPARENT WIND SPEED – This is the speed of the wind with respect to the boat in meters/sec. This is the actual wind that is used by the sails to push the boat forwards.
BEARING – This is the direction in which the boat is sailing in a range of 0-360 degrees. It is the boat's main compass.
BOAT DIRECTION – This shows the direction the boat is pointing with respect to the pilot. This is always fixed and is used as a reference for the sails.
WIND DIRECTION – this is the direction the wind is blowing, with respect to the boat's direction.
SAIL DIRECTION – This is the angle of the sail with respect to the boat direction and wind direction.
SELECT MOTOR – Pressing this button will lower the sails and use the boat’s motor drive.
SELECT SAILS – Pressing this button will raise the sails and initially use the Second Life wind. It will set the motor to zero.
WIND DIRECTION SET – These four buttons can set a preset wind from the North, South, East, or West direction.
WIND SPEED SET – These buttons can set the preset wind speed from zero (becalmed) to 3 m/s (mild) to 6 m/s (brisk) to 9 m/s (gale).
