Caribbean Rose
Description
The Caribbean Rose is an classic, elegant sailing yacht. It is a good ship to learn sailing because there are not so much lines as on the other boats ingame.

Sails
-Mainsail, halyard, three reefs
-Jib, halyard
-Genoa, halyard
-Nr. 4, halyard

Pros
-Beautiful
-Steady
-Easy to sail, not so much lines
-Good selection of headsails
-Three reefs in mainsail

Cons
-Not a good regatta ship
-Can not compete with Mini-Transat

38ft Ocean Cruiser
Description
The 38ft Ocean Cruiser is a modern sailing yacht with a good selection on lines and on sails.

Sails
-Main, halyard, three reefs
-Jib, halyard
-Genoa, roller furling
-Asymmetric spinnaker, halyard

Pros
-You can drive with genoa and asymmetric spinnaker at the same time which is pretty cool (does not makes you faster!)



-Genoa roller furling
-Good selection on lines, not too complicated
-Good selection on headsails
-Three reefs in mainsail
-Fast

Cons
-Can not compete with Mini-Transat

Mini-Transat
Description
The Mini-Transat is a small racing ship in the game. With a lot of lines and a lot of sails it is the perfect playground for regatta sailors.

Sails
-Main, halyard, three reefs, just pull the line to 33, 66 or 100%
-Jib, halyard
-Code 0, halyard
-Asymmetric spinnaker, halyard

Pros
-Fast
-A lot of lines
-A lot of sails
-Great fun
-Good (the best) at regattas

Cons
-Hard to master because of all the lines and sails
52' Cruising Catamaran
Description
The 52' Cruising Catamaran was the first multihull that was added to Sailaway. It is fast and comfortable. Because of it's huge width, it is very stable. It can sail without reefs through the same storms together with full-reefed boats.

Sails
-Main, halyard, three reefs, just pull the line to 33, 66 or 100%
-Jib, halyard
-Genoa, roller furling

Pros
-Fast
-Stable
-Sometimes, when the wind is not very strong (10 knots or less), you can sail as fast as the wind or faster (for example: 5,2 knots wind speed, 5,2 knots ship speed, 117° TWA)

Cons
-Not so much lines

Thank you for your work. Guess it's time to add other boats?

38 Ocean Cruiser is quasi a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey

Two points/requests 1> Not everyone is into racing. 2> It would be great to have classic tall ship(s) to sail. OK 3> Nice to have visible locations to visit. So many things = endless replays.

It would be pretty cool if you could enter variables for your boat, like hull design (fin keel, spade-hung rudder, long keel), ballast amount, dimensions of rigging, sail plan, etc.

@Capt. 1bloke
I wrote an e-mail to the team, they "will see what they can do about adding this".

I'm not sure, but I think in the Mini Transat, the only reef it has, it can be pulled to 33, 66 and to 100%, working like if they were 3 lines (First, Second and Third Reef but in one line)

Hi guys. Did you plan to add official boat from main naval manufacturer such as Beneteau, Jeanneau, Wally, Hanse, Bavaria...
