Hello,
Thank you for checking out my new yacht!
This yacht is a work in progress, and because it isn't finished yet you have an opportunity to shape its development as well as get it for a great price! Everyone who purchases the early access edition will be getting the completed yacht when it is finished in the near future. Please be aware that you will likely be getting several updates as new features are added and completed.
If you have any ideas for features you'd like to have included in the yacht, let me know.
If you have favorite furniture with animations you love, send me a link to the store and I'll try to include the animations in the yacht.
Finally, if you find bugs and problems with the yacht, tell me about them so I can fix them and have them available in the next update.
Sincerely,
Brookston Holiday
NEW FEATURES
--------------------------
I'm super excited to be introducing two brand new features not available on other yachts.
This yacht has a region crossing system that eliminates most region crossing problems. No more rubber banding and disconnects.
Also introducing the new HMY Wake system. This yacht has the most realistic looking wake of any boat in Second Life!
Update 0.94 --> 0.98
------------------
*Added a bunch of new poses
*Changed how the menu system works. Now, if you are sitting on the yacht, touching the yacht will bring up the poses menus automatically, hit the yacht settings button to get to the other menus
*Must now turn on the yacht to begin driving, while in drivers seat hit the "Start Engine" button to begin driving
*Added external lighting to the flybridge, sides, and cockpit area
*re-wrote the driving script to work better in both advanced and simple driving modes, should now be able to switch back and forth while driving
*Added a re-texturing ability, check out the new hull colors. Simply rez the re-texture drone and left click it
Update 0.92 --> 0.94
------------------
*Fixed some of the spammy messages generated when you stop driving
*Redid the sit system From scratch. An avatar can change seated position to anywhere on the yacht from any sitting position
*Added a thruster system. Holding shift and left or right at slow speed will cause the yacht to strafe left or right
*Added more animations (still looking for some suggestions on who the best animation makers in SL are so I can buy some good ones for the yacht)
Second Update 0.91 --> 0.92
------------------
*Fixed "stuck" port rudder
*Added open/close functions to the window shades in bedroom and salon
*Added rotation to the radar arrays
*Added animations to bed (first seat is sheats, second seat is pillows otherwise you end up on the couch)
*Added animations to the shower (first seat floor, second seat back wall, otherwise you end up on couch)
*Added water particles to the shower
*fixed bug in script that would shift the wrong child prims when unlinking/linking to yacht
*Added "Scripts On" button to the menu. This will turn the animations and doors back on while driving. Normally these scripts are turned off while driving to prevent problems crossing region borders. This way you can us the yacht without having to stand up from the drivers seat. So with some creativity you can use the yacht and not worry about auto-return; as long as you or one of your guests is always sitting somewhere on the yacht. (Thanks again Antonio, this was a great idea!!!)
*Other small fixes and tweaks
First Update 0.9 --> 0.91
------------------
*Fixed a bunch of bugs, thanks for everyone who reported them!!!
*Biggest bug was preventing you from driving again after standing up.
*Fixed hover height, no more water in the bathroom.
*Added an entirely new advanced driving mode. In the new mode turning is more realistic and the throttle is set to a constant percentage. You can switch back to the simple mode with the touch menu.
*Added exterior water lights. Activated in the touch menu.

Awesome Boat
You will NOT be disappointed in buying this boat! FIVE stars
Just realize I had not reviewed!
I own pretty much all of the major name Yachts on Second Life. Then I happened upon this amazing Yacht and it's become my favorite of my entire collection.
This boat is pretty special for a number of reasons. The creator used extensive use of 3d materials in it's creation. While other creators are making full bright, flat texture, baked shadow nightmares this creator is making real advanced lighting model enabled products with real projector lighting inside with amazing materials that catch reflections and cast real shadows.
In all fairness the boat does have a rough edges but those relatively minor issues are not really a huge deal when you see the quality of the work that went into creating it. And then there's the design of the boat itself. It's big but it's sleek and elegant at the same time. I actually pulled a BBX Queen out of the water at my marina slip to make room for this smaller but much better boat. With the queen out of the water I had enough prims to rez a run about boat behind it which works much better. For parties and cruising I take the big yacht and for exploration and travel I take the little one.
Amazing
I have had this yacht since the first "0.9" version, and I can say that it really does keep getting better. Changing seating positions works perfectly for all of the animations currently in the vessel. Piloting the craft is easy and incredibly reliable, due to the scripting witchcraft inside.
Once this has more animations in it, and the ability to start the engine without standing and sitting again, it will definitely be the best yacht on SL waters.
I'd recommend grabbing it now, before the price gets higher. Several updates have already been made, and I am confident they will continue until completion :]
Hoping for more updates soon.
I know this yacht is a work in progress and hopefully over the next few improvements I will improve my ratings. It's a beautiful yacht and I was hoping to dock it and use it as a home. There are only a few poses available at this point and I'm hoping that menu will expand over time. When I reared the yacht and took the helm it was very difficult to sail. I got a script error message concerning the camera. The camera settled into the back of the captains chair and it was impossible to sail for lack of visibility. It has 375 land impact so you're going to need a marina that has dockage for that size boat, too.
Not bad..
It's still in "Early Access" so I'm under the impression they're still working on it (I hope) there is bugs, it's missing animations in areas, it forces you to sit on the shower regardless of where you click and it spams you that the animations are loading at times. The models are nice, it drives good. I just hope for improvements.
