The Trudeau Sojourner is a true pocket cruiser for two with a cuddy cabin, your sailing home away from home. At 20 feet, with it's marconi sloop rig and full control HUD, Sojourner sails with the best of them. But what really makes her stand out is when your sailing day is done. Once you've found an inviting anchorage, just issue a voice command and a boom tent extends past the cabin covering the cockpit, giving you as much privacy as you are likely to find anywhere in Second Life. Within your tented hideaway, you and your partner can stretch out courtesy of the included poseballs containing a sweetly holding hands sleeping animation. An adjustable lantern hanging overhead casts a romatic glow, completing the scene. Camping on the water in SL - there's nothing like it!

Features of the Trudeau Sojourner include:

-- Realistic sailing. Thanks to the ingenious sailing mechanics originally devised by Kanker Greenacre and adapted by Jacqueline Trudeau specifically for the Trudeau line of yachts, it *really sails* using the SL wind. Voice or HUD commands trim the sails for optimal performance under sail. Heeling, drifting, in irons... all the sailing fun -- and sometime frustration ;) -- it's in there (dramamine not included).

-- Richly textured from the finest of virtual nautical materials including white oak framing, cedar or fir hull planking, teak decks, sitka spruce masts and spars, mahogany brightwork and bronze fittings.

-- Onscreen HUD attachment provides button control for the common boat handling commands and graphic display of environmental conditions.

-- Enhanced realism with autorez and autoderez of furled sails when moored. Included boom tent and scripted lantern.

-- Customizable. Voice commands to change the hull and sail textures from a selection of traditional nautical color schemes (including two varnished wood selections), modifiable script for changing the default camera location and angle. Notecard to add skipper names - *you* decide who can skipper your yacht - not just limited to owner operation. For a modest surcharge, your boat name and home sim/hailing port can be emblazoned on the stern either before or after purchase. Modify permissions.

-- Artifical wind strength and direction commands for overriding the fluky SL winds. SLSF racewind compatibility.

-- Custom designed sit animations are placed in various positions about the boat for you and your first mate.

-- Sailing sounds and particle wake effects

-- Auxiliary motor for those rare occasions when the wind dies down.

-- Since sim crossings can be unpredictable, copy permissions. No transfer permissions.
