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.

ARR me hearties. I've been getting my inner pirate on with this one. Tip for VR users, configure Left hand thumbstick for VTOL. Then you can steer while operating the cannons. Definitely one of the best builds on the SPVR platform.
Possibly one of the best sailing ships ever uploaded, if not the best yet. Love the VR features, thanks to the update they're usable with mouse.
Special thanks to JuanShot2Go for testing this craft for VR, really cool!
(Edit) My first three digit upvote build, Thank you!

@ShiroNeko I Want One Too 👀
@Majakalona, You gotta dig deep for that. I'd give a cookie for it 🍪
Tags inaccurate, it uses The Rick Tag and there's not really much that makes since for that tag
"CAPTAIN!"
"What?"
"LOOK!!"

"OH F8CK"
This is really fun to sail
I fricking love this.
@Planebuilder14
I see. It would indeed be nicer if you did modify it yourself, yes.
@ShiroNeko actually it does work on mobile i just needed to set the graphics to low also I hope you don't mind but I added and modified a few things to the ship such as a winch for the anchors and some interior details
That is cool I love old sailing ships do you think you can make a mobile friendly version
@ShiroNeko Do you have discord? Can I talk to you about this a little bit. My discord IT'S HERO TIME!!#5206
@xNotDumb - that can be fixed by turning it off and on again.
@UmbrellaCorporation - I cannot help with that, sorry.
@ShiroNeko How to use ocean mod? I can only see the effect to limited distance and rest of the ocean is gone
@xNotDumb - Aye why not.
@UmbrellaCorporation - no, not yet.
@ShiroNeko Can i ask something?
@TatsuTheOtaku and @Dub
Ayo, thank you :D
Ay congrats on 100 updoots
Impressive.
Im planning to make a Sloop o' War
