Yacht Race Board Game Token

thingiverse

I was challenged to produce a small sailboat to be used as a game token for the 1961 Parker Brothers Yacht Race game. I discovered that scaling down a sail boat model to 10-15% does not result in a printable model. I tried about 15 different ones. So I designed this as simple as possible so that there would be no fine pieces that would have trouble printing. For example the piece that represents the rudder is definitely not functional, but it gives the impression of a rudder. I found the pieces fairly robust, but maybe not quite heavy enough to make a good game token. I have not yet tried it on the actual game board, because I don't own the game. I didn't mark it as customizer, because I hand tweaked a few numbers. I included the source, like I do with all my submissions. Hopefully others can use them to improve their design skills, but really it is so that people can customize it themselves to suit their own requirements. There are often small things that can be improved that can't be done with a slicer.
