Wow great!
so you got bezier patches for sale? lol what's the price?
No sorry just kidding ;-)
I understand why tou are not happy with bezier: you mechsim sail is vry
realistic, it looks like a heavy cloth sail in a light breeze
while bezier sail looks like an elastic cloth light sail.
The flag is great  too.
you are doing a long but impressive job with this boat!
Now you want suggestion: If your ship sails following wind as the flag
shows, is it normal that the Royal sail is hauled taut this way?.
I never skipped that sort of  rig but it seems to me that is should be
released (don't know the right word)
