Peterwolf's Cruiser Sail Yacht

Peterwolf's Cruiser Sail Yacht (Fabric 26.3)

Peterwolf's Cruiser Sail Yacht introduces a full-scale, seaworthy ocean cruising yacht to Minecraft. Built from the keel up as an expansion to Peterwolf's Wind & Sails, it is 2.5× larger than the classic sport dinghy (~11.25 m length, 3.75 m beam), complete with an authentic teak deck, an interior cabin with a rest berth, a functional pedestal steering wheel, an auxiliary harbor motor, and an advanced 6-cleat mooring system.

⚓ Key Features

⛵ True Wind Sailing Aerodynamics

• Powered by the genuine aerodynamic lift & drag engine from Peterwolf's Wind & Sails.
• Dynamic heel under sail with heavy-displacement ballast keel righting moment.
• True-to-life sail trim: ease or trim the mainsheet with W / S to catch maximum wind power.
• Both the main boom and the forward jib track and billow realistically to leeward.
• Natural wind leeway drift when drifting freely or swinging on anchor.

🚶 Fully Walkable Teak Deck & Interior Cabin

• Players and crew can walk freely across the deck, cockpit, coachroof, and swim platform while the vessel is stationary or underway.
• Interior Cabin Berth: Right-click the companionway cabin door at night or during a thunderstorm to take shelter, rest peacefully, heal, and wake up to a clear morning.

☸️ Helm Pedestal & Active Hiking

• Steering Wheel: Take the helm by right-clicking the binnacle-mounted steering wheel.
• Active Rail Ballast (Hiking): Press [Space] to hike out onto the windward deck, shifting the skipper's body weight to counter heel in heavy weather; press again to return behind the wheel.
• Proportional Rudder Physics: Smooth steering wheel response with progressive auto-centering.

⚙️ Auxiliary Inboard Diesel Engine

• Start or stop the harbor motor with [Z] (automatically furls the sails for tidy harbor maneuvering).
• Incremental Throttle: Tap [W] to increase forward power, tap [S] to reduce or engage reverse gear. The throttle holds its position when keys are released.
• Authentic marine diesel pulse, propeller cavitation, and bubble wake effects.

🪢 Advanced 6-Cleat Mooring & Anchor System

• 6 individual mooring cleats (3 port, 3 starboard: Bow, Midship Spring, Stern).
• Two-step mooring workflow: tie lines between dock posts (fences/chains) and yacht cleats using lead ropes.
• Full integration with Peterwolf's Wind & Sails heavy sea anchors.

🌊 Draft & Keel Grounding Mechanics

• Realistic hull draft: requires at least 2 blocks of water depth.
• Shoal water / grounding detection: alerts the skipper and prevents driving deeper into shallows; reverse out with [S] to regain buoyancy.

📐 Frustum Culling Immunity

• Custom extended bounding box ensures the full 17.5-meter mast, rigging, and wind vane never clip out of view when looking up from the cockpit.
