Just downsized my SL empire. Sold everything and rented a nice lot on Mr. Figtree's beautiful sim (shameless endorsement). I have taken up sailing.
Presently using the freebie Flying Tako. Any recomendations for a nice sailing vessel to take her place at dockside?

The Trudeau's are awesome.
I also love my new Tetra from Seawolf Marine. _____________________

Any recomendations for a nice sailing vessel to take her place at dockside? I think the Beach Cat available from the Trudeau sim is one of the most fun to sail small boats in SL. Zog |

The Tetra is brand new. I guess it could be considered the modern equiv. of Trudeau's larger attachment boats:

The Tetra is realistic as with the other Boats from Verkin Raven.
I have the Cobra G2 V3.5 the SW150 V3.0 and the SWC v3.5.1 and they are excellent boats and great fun to drive. The SW150 comes with a capsize option and thats a chuckle. The SWC v3.5.1, I went to night school to learn how to drive this, lots of options and great fun. If the Tetra is anything like the other 3 boats I have then it would be a good buy for any Sler interested in Sailing. PS: Verkin, can I have a discount on the Tetra or would you like to drop one in my harbour just for show. LOL |

What's the going rate for an Empire now days? Depends on the size of the empire and location of assets I guess. Mine was worth enough L$ to pay rent to Raymond for a very, very long time  No more tier headaches and naughty neighbors and tenants to deal with for me. I have to check out some of these boats tonight after RL work. Thanks for the tips. _____________________

Another plug for the Trudeau line here. Beautiful wood designs, very nice realistic(ish) control schemes and huds -- a very nice experience for sailing.

Bought the Trudeau 32. Nice value priced craft. Took it for a test spin and am happy with it. The addition of a motor is a nice touch for navigating in harbors. tight channels, etc...
New question(s) Where do you like to sail? What was your most embarrassing experience at sea? Addicted to sailing, Jannae _____________________

Ooo...I like where this thread is going! (*gets a notepad ready to mark down co-ordinates*)
Favorite places to sail: Fishers Island -- part of Sailor, Fishers Island (79, 51, 29) Sailing - Adriatic Start/Finish, Adriatic (172, 191, 21) NYC Club House, Bismarck Sea (14, 194, 21) *Move out a bit from the club house to rez your boat Most embarassing moment: Too numerous really but the one that really stands out is having SL crash down around my ears one day and relogging to the message - "The region you have requested is unavailable. You have been moved to a nearby area" - Korea I believe is where they decided to drop me. Anyway, popping in to a busy area Ruthed and with a 50' sailboat attached must have looked pretty funny. I was unable to teleport or remove the boat so I just relogged.  _____________________
