In the explorer set the folder options to show all file extension especially known file extensions.
By default Windows hides the extension eg. "Camster.zip" is shown as "Camster". Adding an extension ".zip" would make the filename "Camster.zip.zip" ........ due to hiding the extension ".zip" Windos however would show you "Camster.zip"
Your boat name would show up in VSK4 as "Camster.zip"
Make sure to check the linkname with a browser.
You have to make sure you name the locaterfile,
Camster.zip.loc NOT Camster.zip.zip.loc
After creating the .loc file you should see the downloadable when you start vsk4 and it asks if it should update online files (yes) , and present you with a list to downloadables wich you can klick or not, your (new) skin should be mentioned.
