Absolutely love this boat, maybe add a way to check for upcoming weather if that's a thing in stormworks? Other then that I love this, as a sailor myself it works really well.

My largest trailerable boat is the Regalbilt Dubina

Oh okay thank you! what would be your biggest boat that is able to cross the ocean that can also fit on one of your trailers?

No trailer because the keel is low. The new Budva sailboat does!

Do you have a trailer for this boat?

Problem: running lights use up the batteries.

Solution: one crank, four small gearboxes set to 1:1 and a small generator. Produces 2 swatts. Not enough to move the boat anywhere, but it'll keep the lights running with a few moments of cranking every so often.

Nice!

Done!

One change I'm making on my end that you might consider:

I'm connecting the nav lights, forward spotlights, and map screen to hotkeys on the helm because I will want to be able to use them without the engine running. Also adding dials for speed and battery charge because, again, I need to keep track of them without the engine running.

Yeah, the game has to be restarted! Pheww, glad it worked!

Huh, nooope. Still has the jibboom connected to the mainmast. Let me try relaunching the game... Ah. There it goes. It wouldn't download the updated mod until I relaunched the game. Got it now! Thanks!

Please try to spawn a fresh copy from the workbench, it should be updated to be matching the configuration in the video!

If not, I will upload the latest version tonight when I am home.

It should have already been uploaded?

Hey, can you upload the version you used in the video with the jib having its pivot point by the bow instead of being attached to the mainsail? I mean, don't you think it's kind of counterproductive to teach us to sail this boat by showing us how to use a fundamentally different sail plan than the one it has??!!

Oh. Ok, I'm wrong, it definitely does make it more efficient. Just, not when I start right off in high gear, because just like real life, high gears work poorly at low speeds. Silly me.

Still would appreciate any advice you could give about the jib. All but one of my sailing hours were in a single-sail dinghy. And most of them were almost thirty years ago.

I will check it out the gearing!

See this video I put together how to sail with it!

Huh, I didn't feel like I was getting any more distance per fuel though.

Do you have any tips on using the jib? I only tried playing with one once in real life, it didn't seem to do much (or I couldn't seem to do much with it.) In the game, it seems like it pushes the bow around so much, it's only useful very briefly when I need a little push to steer. And if I use it too much and start going backwards, I can't get it going forwards again without using the engine. :P

@The Nameless it is more like "ECO" mode, to drop the RPS

High gear makes it go slower??!!

can you make the borealis ice breaker from half life and portal and make a water truck that sprays

can you make a ice braker

i hope i like it

Turn the handle on the sail boom

how do i expand the sail

can u make a tiny sail boat? like maby a escape ship or sum

Mdaa... Search in workshop Upgraded Preset Yacht
are you sailman? ))))

cool

Does this work with the Regabilt trailers?

I feel the ruder could use more steering angle

@WillTP cool, thanks for the suggestions! I would love to see your fix! How can you send it?

I commented on you video, it s great boat with a lot of character but i have some suggestions about your Jib sail and how to fix the issue at high winds of it going sideways and stuck in that reversing position, if you open to them. I've modified it in a very unpolished way but i think you'd like to see what i've changed

Amazing video + build. Would share!

Uhh, person who sails here... The jib should be supported from the front and unfurled from the front. Currently It is mounted backwards, making unusable.

@Centenari Thank you :)
@jactical nuke I will do my best!
@TOOL MAN FPV :) Yay! I wanted to make it fun to operate!

I'm a sailor and I know that this is beater then good :)

will this be in the dock and marina addon?

Looks cool, can't wait to try it! (As always, your builds are amazing 454ss)
