i think you should have two versions for it (;

Dbroussa, hello.
I'm on the fence about it. Part of me ofcourse wants to, but the other part of me thinks I worked hard on the original design and doesn't want that work to be null and void.
We'll see...

Will this be redone for the new update?

thank you!

Slippery, either use a LARGE dock, a modified one, or create a mission and spawn it where ever you would like.
Hope that helps!

hey it says its too big for docks what then?

i thinkl bro loikes planmes

no problem! and one more suggestion, the dragonfly evolution 32 would be amazing to see, there are also rarely any trimarans on stormworks.

AustrianOfficer, thanks for the ideas!
They are very fancy sailboats, I'll throw them on "The Pile" ;)

if you do come around and want to work on another sailing yacht i would recommend the 2006 oyster 56, or if your unable to do that i'd reccomend the 2006 jeanneau 54 DS as a second option.

we DO need more sailing yachts from you, PLEASE....

Willows, thanks for the nice comment!
I need to release the fix(s) for this one first! ;)

We need more sailboats from you!

EarthQuakerD3, at the very front of the bow, by the windlass.
Hope that helps!

where is the button for the anchor

BomberEx, if the wind speed is high, let the sails out a bit (or alot). That will improve your maneuverability.
Also, you should note that this vehicle was atleast partially broken after the pressure updates, I'm am working on fixes currently.
Thanks for your interest!

how do you control the rudder. I am using the remot with the correct frequency but it feels really weak and almost feels usless

I will be patient

Afrociaal, absolutely. Have fun!

Hey, can i use the GARMIN controller on my build (with credits of course)

rammed, I will. Work keeps me pretty busy.

Pls fix

Thank you so much!

rammed, I understand completely. I'm working on fixing everything that was in some way broken. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

It was my favourite vehicle but I’m not mad at the updates, I’m glad that there is better physics but I really want to go sailing in it again.

I think the new updates broke it

Kthurmsafran, sounds fun! Can't wait to see it!

Faster version and or just a cruising around Boat.

Kthurmsafran, sure. What kind of boat?

could i remove the insides and use the hull for a new boat ?

shahrazadraft, you can spawn it either with a "modded workbench" or via a mission at a location of your choosing.
Hope that helps!

where do i spawn it?

Penn, can you be more specific please? I'd love to get you going, but I need some more information please. Which way was the wind blowing (and at what strength), which way was the boat facing relative to the wind, and did you have the sails raised?

If it helps, I do have a tutorial video available viewable via the screenshots above or the link in the description.

for some reason i cant use the wind and only the motor

Vale, if you have a workbench that has modified build limits or what is sometimes called a "modded workbench" you can use that, or spawn it via a mission at a location of your choosing.

Hope that helps!

Where can I spawn this?

charliedknight3121, Thanks very much for the nice comment, and I'm glad you are enjoying the sailboat!

When you say "wind vane" are you referring to the devices used for steering? There is already a heading hold device in place on the tiller. If you stop making inputs to the tiller it will hold the heading of your last input. However, it cannot compensate for strong winds acting on the sails, you'll need to let the sails out if the wind is too strong.

As for linking everything together, rather then explain it here feel free to pick apart the composite logic block, everything is labeled and you can trace which "connections" go where and why.

Hope that helps!

Gerunimo, is it possible to add a wind vane? Such an addition would be absolutely wonderful for long distance sailing. Still enjoying the boat, no complaints whatsoever.

Also, could you explain exactly how you got the sails to work? I know there is an engine running while the wind is beating, i can even hear it sometimes, but how did you link everything together?
Thanks in advance.

bossleranthony, thank you very much for the nice comment! I'm also very glad you are enjoying it! As for a dingy, I thought about it but for lag reasons and that a dinghy would have to be of a certain size to float it wouldn't be to scale with the rest of the sailboat, so I went without.
Sorry, but I hope you understand. Happy sailing!

I absolutely love this sailboat, it is by far my favorite workshop creation. The only thing that would make this creation even better is if you made a dingy to tow behind it like real sailboats.

Tod Potato, very glad you like it, and thanks for the nice comment!

aneyelesspig, your very welcome, happy sailing!

This boat is AMAZING I can get going 4-7 knots in 30 knot wind while towing a dingy behind it and it has such high attention to detail.

Thanks!

aneyelesspig, yes. Once you stop making adjustments the rudder will hold the heading of your last input. Albeit, it is just a heading; the system in place does not account for drift. Not unlike the rudimentary tiller centering systems on most small sailboats.
Hope that helps.

Thank you. Is there any automatic course hold implemented?

aneyelesspig, your very welcome and thanks for the nice comment! You adjust course use the remote located in the aft portion of the cockpit and select a channel you would like to use via the control panel and on the remote itself. 'A' and 'D' control the tiller and 'W' and 'S' control the throttle when the inboard engine is running.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for this beautiful and complex sailboat. Could you please explain how to change her course?

NimitzSoldier, press the 'raise/lower' switch and turn the crank until it raises.
Note the update on the 30th of Dec. 2022.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have further trouble, happy sailing!

I cant raise the mainsail and yet I really love this as its just like my sailboating at Woodruff Boy scouts of america camp... Help?

Josh D., it's connected to the remote. A/D is the tiller and W/S is the throttle. Hope that helps, let me know if you have further trouble.
