About this experiment

AVBD thin rigid patches and joints simulate all six original sail surfaces, including the bowsprit and diagonal aft furled sails. The model’s original ropes and ten rope ladders deform with jointed AVBD links; ladder rungs connect to their side ropes. Wind applies pressure and drag.

Bobbing moves the attachment points; it is not a buoyancy solver. No cloth self-collision or hull contact. Wooden spars and hardware stay rigid. Original rope geometry and textures are preserved.

Briefly freezes drawing and simulation to measure browser scheduling.
