Mon petite Choufleur-

• site's first VR sailboat! (probably)
• after that failure of my previous work, I decided to create a smaller boat.
• with the possibilities of VR, I tried making this VR friendly.
• planned part count was under 600, it went over to 700.
• at least 40 hours of work, in the span of 18 days.
• designed for vanilla ocean, no ocean mod smooth ride.
• Made with the help of BMilan, thank you!

optimum wind speed
5mph - soft wind speed (preferred for slow cruising)
10mph - decent wind speed (preferred for faster travel)
15mph - tolerable wind speed
20mph to 30mph - maximum tolerable wind speed
Max Boat Speed - 14.5 knots (29kmh / 18mph)

wind direction for optimal sailing (with my artistic MS Paint skills)

Green- optimal wind angle.
Yellow- decent wind angle, not the most efficient.
Orange- decent wind angle, slightly more efficient than Yellow.
Red- no, just no.
