Sorry for the noob question but....

I stumbled across this excellent yacht: http://www.slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=63538

presumably I need a large plot of sea to go with it - only problem is, how do you buy sea ?

TIA

There are lots of water plots available, they tend to cost something between shoreline and dry land plots.

You can pretty much use your boat anyplace there is water. You don't necessarily have to own the water region you sail on.

You might take a look at renting land on the shore or on one of the islands in the Otherland Archipelago. We have a nice large area of water and there's even a group of yacht racers ther already (in the sim just west of OTHERLAND).

You could also go to one of the many mainland sims that border on water and simply rez your boat and sail away!

I enjoy a good boat ride myself, especially in the neat Tako and other yachts that use the winds for power.

The Lindens actualy have water sims set aside just for this purpose. I live right next to one and ride my jetski from the tiny bit of water I own out into the water sim. They normally have auto return turned on, but set to 60 mins. So plenty of time to zoom around and most of the time you cross from one to the other so the timer is constanty reset. They are very easy to spot on the map, there are a bunch of them. In fact, if you look on the map you will even see one that has the Linden hand logo "etched" into the bottom.

You can't rez objects in those water only sims as they are no build areas, so you need to find a plot of land next to them and borrow a few prims from them to rez your boat. Then just sail into the water sim and enjoy.
