SANDPIPER SAILBOAT

HISTORY

This is a rebuild of the Sandpiper Sailboat by Mark Fisher. Please see the ReadMe Original folder for more information.

I’ve been having good success sailing this fine vessel lately, but there is indeed a learning curve. I suggest you start with the sails down (fail the wings in the equipment fail screen), then use the motor to get a feel for her as you make your way out into the wind.

The engine should get you 6-8 knots (no wind). With the sails up and a 20 knot wind, you should be able to match that. With 3D walk-around views, you can climb the mast to set sails or go below for a nap.

WHAT’S NEW


		new exterior paint job/lighting
		retooled engine should give 6-8 knots, with near 48 hours fuel capacity
		new custom propeller design
		new easier to read/operate custom cockpit with animated steering wheel, GPS, etc.
		ship’s horn, new custom sounds
		other tweaks here and there

A flight yoke works great for the rudder. Control the sails with your elevator controls. The horn can be accessed manually or use your flaps key.
