The Beach House boat from TMS is a beautifully crafted mid-sized modern sailing boat that lives up to the brand’s reputation for quality in Second Life. From the moment you rez it, the attention to detail is clear—clean lines, a contemporary design, and thoughtful touches that make it feel both stylish and functional.
What really sets this boat apart is the wide range of poses and interactions. On deck, it’s perfect for social moments: relaxing with friends, lounging by the water on the spacious back deck, or simply enjoying the view as you sail. Everything feels intuitive and well-placed, making it easy to switch between casual hangouts and quiet downtime.
Below deck, the Beach House offers additional pose options designed for more private, grown-up roleplay, handled in a way that fits naturally with the overall design of the boat. It adds versatility without feeling overdone, making the space useful for different moods and storytelling styles.
As expected from TMS, the build quality is high throughout, with smooth animations, solid scripting, and a polished overall experience. Whether you’re a longtime sailor in Second Life or just looking for a stylish new centerpiece for your waterfront home, the Beach House boat is a strong choice and a great addition to any resident’s collection.'

The Bandit 220 is a bare-bones, no-frills speedster that does exactly what it promises: it gets you where you need to go fast. If you’re looking for a sleek lounging yacht or a multi-pose cruiser for social trips, this isn’t it—the B220 is all business, built for speed, utility, and pure fun on the water.
One of its biggest advantages is how well it works for GTFO! runs. Lightweight, responsive, and quick off the line, the B220 lets you dart from hub to hub with ease. Whether you’re threading through Blake Sea traffic or making tight turns around tricky coastlines, the boat handles like a dream.
When you buy the Bandit 220, you actually get two versions: the 5-0 and the Runner. Think of them as parts of a built-in game—almost like high-speed tag on the water. I haven’t tried the game yet, but having that extra layer of interactivity is a fun bonus that adds replay value to an already solid craft.
As for features, this boat keeps things simple. You get one pose, the driver’s seat—that’s it. No lounging, no passengers, no gimmicks. But honestly, that fits the identity of this boat. It’s built for people who want performance over comfort and precision over décor.
Whether you’re racing friends, experimenting with the included game, blasting across Blake Sea, or running rapid-fire GTFO routes, the Bandit 220 earns its spot as a reliable, fast, and thrilling addition to your boat collection.
And here’s my own custom paint job on the B220—simple, clean, and exactly the way a boat built for speed should look.
Today I’m relaxing on my Skutsje boat from The Mesh Shop and Bandit. I bought it a few years ago and have since customized it quite a bit—but as of the date of this post, TMS has the Skutsje on sale for 50% off.
A skûtsje (pronounced “skootshuh”) is a traditional Frisian sailing vessel, a type of tjalk or Dutch barge. Originally used as everyday cargo boats, they’re now cherished icons of Frisia. Built from the 18th century until around 1930, skûtsjes typically span 12 to 20 meters (39 to 65 feet) in length and average about 3.5 meters (11 feet) in width, with a maximum width of 4 meters—just right for navigating historic Frisian bridges and locks.
This boat is a joy to captain and has plenty of space for friends. I’ve outfitted mine for lounging and sharing drinks, making it perfect for relaxed cruising. If you’re looking for something a bit different, stop by TMS and take one out for a test sail. You’re going to love it.
As a user of the now-discontinued N-Core Erika body,
tracking down shops that still support it has been a bit of a challenge, something
that tends to happen whenever a new body enters the Second Life market.
Thankfully, many helpful people have put together lists of stores that cater to
Erika, and that’s how I came across Carol’s: a true hidden gem I found myself
visiting almost weekly.
Carol’s leans toward conservative fashion, perfect for
anyone who wants their curves beautifully highlighted without showing everything,
if you know what I mean. If you own the Erika body, you’ll be happy to know
that Carol’s does indeed offer a lovely selection of clothing for it.
Today, I’m wearing the Gianna Cardigan and Dress. I
originally picked them up during a sale, but even at full price they’re very
reasonable. Yet another great reason to stop by Carol’s regularly and catch
their new-release deals.
If you haven’t visited Carol’s yet, definitely check them
out!
