**** 10 March 2024: Please note: this model has now been rated for use with Get The Freight Out (GTFO) but testing is not yet complete, and there are a few known problems that need to be ironed-out yet. Please do NOT update your own model by adding the GTFO VAPI and scripts manually yet. A revised model equipped for GTFO will be updated here once the work is complete. Thanks. ****
Beautiful Design
I bought this some years ago. I had fun learning to sail with this one. Since then I have acquired most every boat and water craft out there and while those have their advantages I always come back to this one because it's such a pleasure to sail. It may have some older textures... but so what! That just adds to it's ambiance. When it comes to the wind is where this boat excels. Some need to always have the latest and greatest but this little classic will be around for many years to come.
It works with GTFO!
So this accidentally became one of my favorite sailboats, and I have just all of them in SL. It's not fancy with all the avatar animation and such, but it's a lot of fun to sail and it's GTFO! capable, which is why I bought it in the first place, but now I sail her even when I'm not doing GTFO!. Here's what I love about it:
1. The cost
2. It does GTFO! as a medium ship (you have to set it up yourself, it's not ready out of the box)
3. The hud is fantastic; controls speed and wind direction with a click.
4. Has an Auto Trim function that you can turn off or on.
It seems to be modifyable, I wish people would make paint jobs for this boat!
Thank your items are great ...
I had many of the free ones and it was so great to have them and now I am happy to pay a few lindens to help with the costs. I sometimes get these for friends who have never sailed, they really are cool.
Congratulations !
Wonderful creations. Unique service. friendly, prompt answer to my question !!! Thank you so much !!!
