“Rideables”

These are boats that you rez inworld, sit at the helm position and sail away! Since SL restricts vehicles to a maximum of 31 prims, the Trudeau “ridables” generally do not have enterable cabins. Auto-rezzing prims such as furled sails, rigging and mooring lines and bouys fill out the details when moored. These extra prims are not attached to the vehicle linkset and can be disabled if you are short on your parcel prim allowance.

Seasharp Daysailer

17ft, 27 prims

Whether you’re more interested in how a sailboat looks or how it behaves, it’s hard to beat the Trudeau Sea Sharp. At 17 ft, the Sea Sharp is the most compact in the line of Trudeau Classic Sailing Yachts - perfect for navigating the smaller aquatic byways of Second Life.

Sojourner Tent Camper

20 ft, 29 prims

Sojourner is a true pocket cruiser for two with a cuddy cabin, a 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.

Trudeau 32 Sloop

32 ft, 27 prims

The Trudeau 32, a gaff rigged, full keeled wooden sloop sailboat with graceful lines, was our first yacht and established the direction of the company’s offerings.

Tahiti Ketch

35 ft, 29 prims

The Trudeau Tahiti Ketch is an homage to the famous John Hanna design that has taken many of it’s real life owners on voyages to the far reaches of the globe. Popularized as a cruising boat at in the 1940s when there were no production cruising boats, you bought the plans from Hanna, built it in your backyard, and sailed off to the south seas - if you were lucky :) They have been called little ships because they are built strong and sail flat.

Bluewater Schooner

42 ft, 29 prims

Modeled after the two masted work and pleasure schooners of the northeastern United States during the age of sail, Bluewater is a classic vessel crafted by the boatwrights at Trudeau Classic Sailing Yachts as the entry level fore and aft rigged yacht.

“Attachables”

These are 2 piece boats - a sub 31 prim “vehicle” consisting of sails, skipper and passenger poseballs, sailing physics and control scripts. This is what you ride on. The rest of the boat is a detailed attachment that is worn on your avatar, not unlike prim shoes and hair.

Jacqcat Catboat

28 ft, 214 prims

The catboat is a native American art form - plumb stem, wide beam, mast in the eyes, gaff rig, big barn-door rudder, single head-stay. The catboat - a little boat, a useful boat, a handy boat, simply rigged and simple to operate; a mast and a sail, a tiller and a cabin for two — there was a time when most small boats were rigged as cats.

Based on the iconic design of the Cape Cod region, the Jacqcat was lofted and built up from RL boat plans, so her lines and proportions are exacting and true to life.  She is the ideal boat for the novice SL sailor, as her operation - with a single sail to control - is simplicity itself. I’ll have to admit the catboat is one of my very favorite RL boat designs so I named this one after … myself! ;)

Friendship

35 ft, 225 prims

They don’t get any saltier than this! The Friendship Sloop - our take on the combination of seaworthiness and sailpower that was developed in a type of boat built in in and around Friendship, Maine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally used to fish offshore on the Georges Banks, these classics have found popularity in RL as small yachts. Her appealing lines - clipper bow, flying jib and staysail, have helped her make the transition from working boat to pleasure boat, keeping this elegant design alive and well.

Defender

60 ft, 214 prims

Defender’s sailplan and hull shape were inspired by the America’s Cup racers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in particular the American yacht of 1895 called, sure enough, “Defender”. The Trudeau Defender was voted Best Overall in the 2006 SL Pirate and Boat Show.

Trucordia

 
49 ft, 217 prims

Trucordia was inspired by one of the most beautiful and prized sailing yachts ever designed, the famous Concordia Yawl of the 1950s. So what is a yawl? It is a sailboat with two masts with the aft “mizzen” mast smaller than the forward main mast. Doesn’t that also describe a ketch? Well yes, it does - the main difference between a ketch and a yawl is that the yawl’s mizzen mast is further aft, generally aft of the rudder position. The yawl’s mizzen sail is also smaller in proportion to that of a ketch and is primarily responsible for boat balance under sail rather than generating thrust.
 

Schooner Larinda

70 ft, 254 prims

The topsail schooner Larinda, our largest and most elaborate sailing schoooner. From sprit to fantail, she is 70 feet of pure classic style.

She is influenced by the designs of famed naval architect John Alden, considered the world’s greatest schooner designer. Also reminiscent of the 19th century New England fishing schooners, she was lofted and built up from RL boat plans, so her lines and proportions are exacting and true to life.

Tradewind

85 ft, 213 prims

Tradewind is the Trudeau Tall Ship. The shipwrights at Trudeau have modeled her - appearance and sailing characteristics - after the ocean-going vessels from the great age of sail.  Rigged as a brigantine with working square sails on her foremast, fore and aft on the main and staysails between the masts, she is a sight to behold with all sails hoisted and set.
