Are there any more translations from Babelfish we’ve left out? :)
The One is the newest classic boat from the Trudeau Classic Sailing Yachts. It takes it’s inspiration from a well-known Scandinavian one-design keelboat of the 1930s that has developed, through the years, into actively raced fleets in locations across the globe. From Norway to Long Island Sound, from San Francisco to Bermuda, you could say it has truly international appeal. (though RL intellectual property considerations prevent us from singling out that boat, we’ve dropped broad enough hints that any sailor worth his/her/it’s salt should have no trouble identifying it ;)
With a 7/8 Bermudian rig, it is the first Trudeau boat with fully sculpted sails and, sculpted by Bunnie Mills, what beauties they are – perfectly billowed, perfectly curved throughout the leech with wrinkles like real sailcloth, and actually texture-able. But that’s not all. Wait until you see…
…Realistic Luffing!
On top of that, these sails are scripted to really luff! No need to keep your eye fixed on that sail angle figure – One will let you know inworld, visually and aurally, about your sail trim. Actually, you won’t be able to keep you eye fixed on that sail angle figure as it is not to be found anywhere (but don’t worry – wind and speed numbers are still in the sail control and info-HUDs). One is the first Trudeau boat that is truly sailed by your senses.
Specifically designed with racing in mind, One has features such as the chute, ballast shifting positions for skipper and up to 2 crewmembers and naturally, sail handling duties shared by all aboard. That spinnaker bag looks like a comfy spot to relax between heats… and it is!
Customization
There are 6 built-in color combinations, all actual schemes found in the RL fleet of the boat not mentioned above (including a folkboat-y like bright hull) that we are quite proud of. But naturally serious customizers will want to make their own, and we have you covered in texture templates for covering your One:
Hull and Rudder (2.55MB)
Sails (5.45MB)
Name (208KB)
Nearly every texture found in the boat (excluding sails – 11.42MB – for serious modders!)
(please look in your “Sailing One” card for example script and notecard for over-riding One’s built-in sails)
Extra Goodies
One has built-in mooring field and dockside details – buoy, fenders (yes, those are half-hitch knots making fast the lines ;), cradle autorezzed over the hard, half-hull display model for your SL home.
One and her revolutionary sails have to be seen to be appreciated and you can at Trudeau Classic Sailing Yachts. Sit in the One on display for a short demo of them and you’ll see why we are so excited by them!
Dimensions
32 prims (sit locations for skipper and a crew of two)
39ft (12m) LOA, 8.3ft (2.53m) beam, 6.1ft (1.86m) draft.
Cradle – 20 prims
A special thanks to the SL sailors who have requested this design – Francois Jacques, Naeve Rossini, Jane Fossett – for me, it was the right boat at the right time. And an extra-special thanks to Bunnie Mills whose SL sail lofting skills made it all possible. Now I can get back to my catboats!

All I can say is WOW what a beautiful sail boat.
I can’t wait till I can purchase one.
I think you out did your self on this one.
Keep up the good work

Hmm, funny you should mention babelfish doing those translations. As far as i recall, babelfish doesn’t even do danish. And even if it did, it probably wouldn’t give you “een”, since that’s not a very common way to spell it. But then, we know where you got that bit, don’t we..

YAY!
Much to my surprise my good friend Moontears Vought gave me a One today … it’s so cool in all aspects. The sailing experience is as immersive and realistic as can be. Just wonderful!
Am I right guessing you modelled the boat after the RL H-Boat or International 806?
Thank you so much for building this great boat, Jacqui. And thank you Moonie for the prezzie :)
One in German is ‘Eins’ by the way, not just ‘Ein’. And Sira, ‘Een’ is ‘One’ in Dutch.

Then we must correct that! More bug fixing on the article title than the boat so far … that’s a good sign!
Jul 20, 2010 @ 19:08:40
woot!
Your new “One” looks so nice and elegant!
Thank You for all Your wonderful boats Jacqueline! :)
/me can’t await getting back to SL

Lovely Boat Jacqueline and a pleasure to sail :)

Bought my One yesterday. I meant to take it on a short morning sail, but ended up sailing it all over the northern regions of the Blake Sea. Nice job!

Hi! The link to my review of this fun boat on MetaverseSailing.wordpress.com changed; here it is:

I’ve also included in the comments a link to the great review by Ulf Farman in the Schiffsratten blog!!!

Beautiful and all. Seems like the Spinnaker causes the entire boat to stall. I’m not much of a scripter, could just be coincidence, but every time I bring it up, all the sails just stop responding to commands. HUD or otherwise.

Hi Lita, I can’t reproduce that. The main is under control when the sp is up for me. Contact me inworld.

Very fine boat and website too ;D
I have many boats from you ;D I think you make the best in SL.
Sep 12, 2010 @ 14:33:26
Yeah sure…leave it out for us to drool over..then make us wait to buy it……. Brilliant marketing, but not required…I was sold qas soon as I saw it…and after reading the page…why can’t I justify having one in each color???
Sep 13, 2010 @ 13:42:29
Hi Dutch, it’s available … has been for a couple of months now ;)
Sep 29, 2010 @ 02:43:33
Purchased One of these today and a Jclass wonderful modeling on both boats I however am partial to the ONE.
I have had another one of your boats for a while and decided was time to get another. I really love the detail paid attention to on crew positioning and how it modifies the physics of the boat. Keep it up Look forward to seeing your next release.

ONE WORLD will take off in early January 2011.
Thank you J Trudeau! Here’s a starter page with info, there will be much, much more:
http://metaversesailing.wordpress.com/2010/11/09/one-world/
The ONE WORLD regatta is designed to challenge the best skippers in SL… but don’t worry, that’s neither the style nor the intent.
The race fleet is arranged into teams and crews. If you are new to SL Sailing, or if you only know cruising… no problem at all!
We’ll fix you up with a crack SL-Race team that will show you the ropes and get you going with their crew.
Careful though; I need to add a disclaimer:
SL Sailing can prove “highly addictive…” :-)

Hi, just bought this and the leetie cat II also, as always trudeau boats are so wonderfull. Just have an ask to myself very simple to use the boat but the “One” does not came with the usual help notecard. I thinks it answering to most of “classical” from trudeau boat. Is it any help somewhere to know all the commands and parameters accept.
Very amazing to sail with this as with all the Trudeau yachts. Got a tears when i feels on wind for my first test with the “One” arround the blake sea.
it’s so great thanks for the great works J. Trudeau!!:)

I’m trying to decide which of your boats reminds me the most of the R Class. This one just might be it.

I do wish it had a real Genny.
