About
A 2.9 m tapered tower with an iron curb, a timber cap and a boarded door carries a windshaft bearing at 3.3 m. Four 2.4 m timber whips carry seven lattice bars each with a back stay, giving a 4.8 m sail span. Overall size 4.46 x 5.53 x 2.08 m in metres, +Y up, +Z forward, resting on y=0. Node sails turns on the windshaft axis at y=3.3, z=1.0, parallel to Z. Clips: spin turns the sail cross one full revolution over 6 s and loops seamlessly. Node TRS animation on named nodes only; no skinned rig, skeleton, collision or navigation data.
