Hi,

I remember your project. It's nice to see you haven't given up, and
obviously you know how a sailboat should look (better than I do). Textures
could be improved, and the enviroment (light and reflections). But these
things usually slow down a rendering, so you should finish the modelling
first.

Here's a few hints: The ropes change between visible and invisible. This is
because you use a cheap Anti-Alias. It renders faster but kills some
details. Try these settings: +AM2 +A0.15 +R2 -J

The sky is too simple. You could try to imitate a real atmosphere:

Water needs finer details.

Regards,
Hugo
