Quick update for anyone who stumbles upon this mod.
Depending on your game, you may run into CTDs around Solitude if you have this mod enabled. With proper memory setups, you can survive going around and into the Solitude city cell, but there is a chance for you to crash if you head up to the northern part of Solitude where the Dainty Sload is.
The issue on my end were corrupt NIF files related to meshes for the sails (there were also 4 other errors related to mountains, but it seems to have fixed itself after this mod's removal.)
As he said in his mod description, it isn't immersive. I sail a few times a month, and a boat of that size, with such a small keel, it will probably bob a lot more than what I would feel is safe over the long term. Although you could imagine the boat was about to set sail soon, but even then Skyrims sailboats are actually pretty unrealistic. You would never sail a boat that big out of a harbor that small without some other type of control. In the old days they would use a lot of oars. Not to mention these huge boats lying in a tiny inlet right on the ocean is not bobbing at all, and moored with 1-2 ropes and an anchor. They're mostly just there to be pretty. A real boat of that size would have an extremely hard time getting out of an inlet like that unless the tide was pulling them out, so it was high tide approaching low tide, and the wind was with them. Otherwise they would probably just end up sailing right into the rocks again and again. So yeah honestly, this mod makes a change to something that was already unrealistic in every other aspect, so why not. It makes the whole ambiance of the docks look a lot more colorful too. Obviously having the sail up while docked would needlessly bob you around more, but it looks great.
Sadly, it seems this mod is incompatible (causes CTD) with Wyrmstooth, which happens to be one of my favorite mods. I found this incompatibility with my own testing so perhaps it is something on my end instead, as I find it odd that a simple mesh replacer would be incompatible with Wyrmstooth. Still, a word of warning.
This looks really good! Thankyou. One question, though - I wonder if this could also be applied to "The Katariah"? I haven't looked to see if that ship has its own mesh or not, but it would make sense as it is underway when we see it in game.
