MASTS AND SAILS ANIMATIONS

The sails are animated with two variants: upper 2 sails and bottom 3 sails.

Setting 3 bottom sails - automatic start sailing, adding 2 upper sails - the ship sailing faster

The masts has two positions: ready to sail and parking pos. - according to reality

( at last, more then 720 moving elements) Masts and sails are animated independently,

so you can set sails at the parking pos. or during the rotation sequence.

All animations are controlled on the pulpit monitors in virtual cockpit ( see below )

EXTERIOR MODEL

The model is very detailed and accurate in comparison to origin.

She has beautiful smooth shape, even though she has many boolean holes.
For better frame-rate I did not make a few original parts, e.g. two pontoon

boats from the bow side. Behavior in the water is very nice among other things

thanks to crosswind swing. You will see in practice.
As usual, the parts shining by reflect natural lights.
