I have a very sincere request here. It was incredibly stupid of Morrowind devs to keep the sails unrolled. You just don't do that when the ship is docked, the sails should be rolled, like here. If a ship was docked with open sails the sails would most likely break, they'd tear, get holes and you'd have to fix them again. No idea why would they model them like that, probably they didn't know how sailing works. If you still can, please make the sails rolled, please, please, please @u@
Some reference:
Please make it happen. It's worse than leaving your car with the engine on. It's like strapping your car to a pole using a chain and putting a brick on the gas pedal.

I have the gondola modeled and unwrapped. I'm working on the texture.

Hmmm, I might as well model the rest of the boats. I already have the framing done.
really cool model, it could use few additional polies though.

Other than that, awesome models! :D
docked sail
Thanks for the suggestion, I was about to start texturing the sail, so you messaged me just in time.
Awesome, thanks :D And looks really good!

The diffuse is nearly complete. I'll add a little wear around the edges and fix the dirt up a bit. The normal map shouldn't be too difficult.
NOICE! what's the tri count on the models?
They are all about 4.4k tris. The wrecked is 4.1k because it doesn't have a sail.
Will be interested in leather-version of boat/gondola for Solstheim.
I hope team will make more than 3 settlements there.
Woah you got a lot out of 4k, they look awesome.
