![]() “…a “silly” version with those fuglycake booths that cover the cockpit and give your boat the appearance of a maritime home for the elderly. In her review of the boat, Orca takes a rather dim view of this extra piece of canvas, calling the Bandit 50B: To my knowledge, this is the only sailboat in Second Life that has a Bimini, and it’s a nice touch. The most obvious one is a large, removable Bimini top that provides shade and modest weather protection to the aft cockpit and stern. There’s the requisite number of winches and a full set of lines to help you trim the sails, and there are a number of extras too. I have not tried to race it, but I’ve sailed it on the Leeward Cruise, which can be a pretty big stress test.Īs you can see in the above image, the cockpit is generously proportioned, with a single center wheel and binnacle with a working compass. Since the full-featured boat has a super-low LOD of 32, I nearly always sail that 50B version of the boat I’ve had very little difficulty getting across sim borders or having parts fail to rez or fragment. The full-featured cruiser is the Bandit 50B, while the Bandit 50R is a lightweight, stripped-down version more suitable for racing. □ The boat has so many features, it actually comes with two versions in the box. The beamy hull has plenty of room for crew topside, and there’s extensive forward cabin space as well. ![]() It’s a remarkably detailed and gracefully constructed mesh build. The first boat I want to chime in on is the Bandit 50. It’s a 50 ft, mid-size sloop designed by Analyse Dean and available at the Mesh Shop. ![]() Each boat has its own merits and it’s worth checking them all out to see which might meet your personal and particular sailing interest. The three vessels I’ll discuss are the Bandit 50, the Café Del Mar 75 and the RM 12. They are all well-crafted and nicely detailed you can see their relative sizes in the header image above. With that modus operandi, I’d like to highlight three cruisers with contemporary designs it might assist some sailors seeking a new maritime relationship. However, time passes, and a sailor’s eyes start to wander… my Loonetta launched 14 months ago, and maybe now is a good time now to check out the marinas for a new cruising companion. ![]() Loonetta is a remarkably well-detailed and full-featured mesh build, and all the features somehow fit very nicely into a very tiny footprint ( Prim 31, LOD 32). I admit it for over a year now, Motor Loon’s Loonetta 31 has been my personal ‘benchmark choice’ for a contemporary cruiser. ![]()
