From Japan to SL

Sail board race was held at Trenza Yacht Club last Saturday. I was wrapped up doing the race and not possible to take SSs. This one was taken before at Baba Yacht Club. The famous yacht shop WildWind has gone and many yachts including this sail board are not abailable anymore…




Instead, I brought out Flying Fizz that I obtained long ago. The three yachts in front are from left to right, WildWind DG14, my favorite DG470, and Flying Fizz that is available now for free. The gorgeous one on the far right is owned by Mediadream the landlord. This pier is for club members, so it is possible to rez a yacht and sail out to the Linden sea any time.




Flying Fizz is size larger than DG470 that was used for official boat at our club. There are four levels of difficulty. The easiest one requires only rudder operation. The top level needs from weight change and sail shape adjustment. I tried to sail at the first time and overturned instantly.




Overturn can be caused by too much heel or too strong wind. Animations are set to step on the center board and recover the boat. It will be a big loss when did it during racing.




The camera position is too realistic and low that does not provide good command of view. Still it is nicer to fly away with DG470. Flying Fizz is available at the club house.
