Thank you very much for the kind words :) The flag, like all the textured surfaces in all our yachts, is modifiable. You can apply you own Jolly Roger on it (if you don't have a suitable texture, contact me inworld - i'll drop a version on you). As far as someone else helming the boat, I'm afraid not. Tradewind is an attachable, SL requires that you be the owner of something before you can wear it. Hi Rolf! Thank you very much for the kind words :)

She sailed like a dream; 'was using the solo HUD, and really liked the feature that when going downwind, with the aft sails in proper position, the square sails unfurl. This boat is a true work of art; the bowsprit, the barrels on the deck - you folks are great. Given my earlier post, its also super to have a ship with enough headroom to walk around below decks. Two questions: my son has a Jack Sparrow skin, so we want to take my Tradewind out as a pirate ship. Is there some simple way to attach a pirate flag? Also, can I alter something to let him be at the helm and not just crew. thanks for this SL treasure and your help, --Rolf Jacqueline,

I just took my new Trucordia out for a quick spin around kaiya's Islands (my neighborhood in sl) and was delighted with it. I'd first heard about your boats from Ansel Gasparini and I am very pleased finally to own one!

'had time to get the cat in the water - what a great job you folks have done. I used to have a Hobie-16, and it seems like the real-deal. I can't wait to get my significant-other out on it and jump into the trapezes like we used to... One suggestion - I also tried to buy the Jacqcat and could not find a place where the right-click "buy" became active. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, one more thing. I'm rezed at about my actual 6 foot size. Inside the Larinda I kept banging my head, but my guess is that the lofting had the beams higher than that. Any weirdness going on here, or do I need to shrink! 'many, many thanks from an old salt... --Rolf Jacq,

Yes! people do liveaboard their yachts in SL. There are quite a vew marinas that rent slip space such as Bear's (there is a rental vendor in my boathouse). I know Fisher's Island does, Nantucket (where you are) used to, I'm not sure about now. Like all real estate pricing in SL, the prices are generally based on the primcount allotment. Places to sail.... I'm partial to the United Sailing Sims (where my boatyard is located). It is a privately owned group of sims - 60 some at last count - dedicated to sailing recreation and coastally themed. Seawolf Marine also has a list of places favorable to sailing. Check it out - http://seawolf-monsters.com/boating.php Please be aware the SL changes rapidly, especially the mainland. Where there once was fair sailing might now be a Dungeon ;) Hi Rolf :) Thank you for the compliments. Yes! people do liveaboard their yachts in SL.

I'm going to buy several, and as a newbie, can you direct me to a collection of suggestions on where to sail, how to best rez the boats when I start sailing, etc. At this point, it would be fun to do the "live-aboard" - is that possible in SL? I've seen the docking at Nantucket. 'can't wait to see the next sail boat you create! --Rolf Jacqueline,
