Etoile...

Post by petermcleland »

When we used to cruise our boat in Brittany each year we often saw a fine pair of classic French yachts called "Etoile" and "Belle Poule"...Hama has made a nice model of Etoile and I have replaced the main yacht, in the bay at my base, with his lovely version. I had to make the odd mod in the cfg file to persuade her to make wake and here is a short video of the result:-

It can be played straight from the WinZip window and plays for just over 3 minutes :flying:

No it's OK Jim, It takes the place of the Fly Tampa yacht that I was using previously and berths in the marina next to the large Motor Yacht :flying:
