Trudeau Epicurus: First Look

trudeau classic sailing yachts

Trudeau Classic Yachts has a remarkably long history and an unparalleled reputation as a boatbuilder in Second Life. In fact, over more than five years, TYC’s basic theme has never really changed. They make exquisite emulations of RL nautical designs, and then infuse uncompromising sail scripts tuned to match each sailboat’s Real-Life performance. TYC then rather relentlessly tests the product on SL’s unpredictable waters.

Through all that time and effort, TCY’s visionary, Jacqueline Trudeau, has always had an affection for the simple, serviceable vessels in RL that evolved along America’s North Atlantic coast. Much of her inspiration comes from the classic Herreshoff design tradition, and I’m pretty sure sailors agree that match is pretty good. Last week I was out running along the harbor I was visiting, and I nearly had to stop because I was laughing so hard. I saw a cluster of Trudeau 12 ‘s… errr, I mean Herreshoff 12.5’s… all moored together with their tents up. Usually I smile when something in SL seems to match reality, but this time it was the other way ’round; Reality looked like Second Life Sailing. That perceptual collision seems to happen more and more frequently these days, and its pretty fascinating.

trudeau classic sailing yachts

Trudeau Epicurus Cat-Boat

I’m bringing all this up now because Trudeau’s released a new version of one of her favorite yacht designs… the new launch is a Cat-Boat. In fact it’s everything you might expect from that classic, beamy, multi-purpose family of vessels. However, this time it’s not named after a Real Life one-design, and it’s not dedicated to a legendary sea captain.

Trudeau’s new Cat-Boat is named EPICURUS , and it’s dedicated to Epicurus Emmons , a much-loved SL sailor who died recently. Epi was the Commodore of Fishers Island Yacht Club -SL, and he was much loved by sailors grid-wide. I knew him for four years, as we traded jokes and plotted race courses…

Epi loved any and all boats in SL , but his favorite trainer boat was the Trudeau Leetle-Cat. As time went on, he waxed enthusiastic over SL’s Dutch Skutsjes too. The two boat had major differences, but they actually shared a similar tradition and intent. Like the American cat-boats, Skutsjes were common work-about vessels. They might race for glory one day, then transport manure the next. That was part of the humor, the history, and the sheer human fun .

It seems fitting that JT would craft the boat she personally knew and revered and dedicate it in Epi’s memory. It’s not a fancy racer or sim-filling epic megalith; it’s a Cat-Boat. It’s a boat any and all sailors can enjoy.

Performance

I admit I haven’t yet added up all the numbers needed to give you polar plots or get you a racing advantage in this boat… but I don’t apologize for that, I think that’s not really the point.

On the other hand, I’ve been banging around North Sea in Epi’s Cat, and I’ve tagged along with the Leeward Cruising Fleet for a long distance collecting performance data (that Admiral Duck guy was at the wheel 🙂 ). I therefore think I can give you a good, quick view of the features:

Although I admit the boat’s beamy enough to transport manure, I’m guessing you’ll prolly have other plans for it; there’s a functional cabin aboard that sleeps two comfortably. 🙂 Here’s a closer view of the gangway and inner sanctum:

Here’s a copy of the sit locations on the boat as well, taqken from the Trudeau website:

Exec Summary

Let me add a last summary comment on this ‘First-Look’ post about the Trudeau Epicurus Cat:

Although the boat is slower and more forgiving than the litany of Trudeau Classic racers, please understand that’s an intentional part of the boat’s design. Don’t assume this boat has hobbled scripts, or that it’s any less-featured than the best boat Trudeau Yachts can make. As one small example, let me emphasize the boat comes with a complete set of modifiable hull and script-enabled sail design changes, and that all the crew can hike, share sail responsibilities, and even borrow the damn boat when the skipper is off-line. 🙂

Remember, this boat is an homage to Epi…

It’s smart, it’s fun, it’s full-featured… and it’s a fantastic, flirty voyager.

We all know that Epi wouldn’t have it any other way.

It’s so exciting always, when a new boat is released from Trudeau line. Epicurus is not a fast one, but still nice for cruising, as you said. You wrote a great review in general. 🙂

' src=

I’ve collected lots of numbers on this boat, but frankly, as with Hepcat, I’m thinking: This boat is so much fun, forget about the numbers, just go sail it!

But if you ever tell anyone Jane said that… That numbers were not important, then I’ll come stomp all over you in my clamming boots! 🙂 Thx Tim!

' src=

OOOO Clamming boots 🙂 Semi Seriously I always loved the lines of the Jaqcat and this looks like a lovely equivilant. Sometimes it isn’t about speed or upwind performance, its about having fun as you wanter around SL waterways and looking good while you do it.

' src=

It’s a great boat, cat or not, as use to be from the Trudeau shipyard. With a friendly spirit that blows her rig.

Thanks Jaquie! eM

I just bought this boat and am really enjoying it!

Love this boat

Looking for a Sailboat!

Does anyone have any good recommendations on where I can find a really good working sailboat in SL?  

Thanks!  I really appreciate any insight!

Hi Lisa, I can't connect to SL right now so I don't have any slurls for you. But these are the best boatwrights in SL:

Jacqueline Trudeau specialises in classic wooden boats, ofetn built after RL existing yachts: http://trudeauyachts.wordpress.com/

Qyv Inshan makes modern plastic rockets: http://www.slquestmarine.com/

Rene Underby has some classic and modern boats: http://renemarine.blogspot.com/

Balduin Aabye has only 2, but very well modeled classics: https://sites.google.com/site/balduinaabye/Balduin-Aabye-Yacht-Design

corry Kamachi builds super fast and easy to sail boats, often modeled after RL racing yachts: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/de-DE/stores/25443

My favourites? Trudeau and Quest. But psssht, you haven't heard it from me. :matte-motes-wink-tongue:

Eloise Baily

I love my Trudeau Rosinante. Sailing is a bit of an art form for me having been a landlubber all my life, but it's great fun.

Very nice day sailers are the Flying Fizz and the  K20. 

The Flying Fizz 3.08 is a planing hull sloop rig and is available for FREE at:  Dancing Waters Sailing Center.  It can carry two people and has different levels of performance.  There is also a group called Fizz Fanatics.

The Ktaba 20 Teleri MX is a virtual International One Design (IOD) with lovely lines and good sailing abilites. It can be single handed or crewed.  It is availabe for free as a demo at:   https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Ktaba-20-Teleri-MX-Demo/3819944

Otherwise, there are other free boats at the Dancing Waters Sailing Center as well as some demos.  You might also want to go to Trudeau Classic Sailing Yachts and look at a wide spectrum of nice boats.

I have been having a blast on a Flying Fizz, but just got the K20 demo and am considering purchasing one.  I was a boatwright in Sausalito and San Francisco  and had a Rave, hydrofoil trimaran for several years in RL.

The 12 Metre Sit Targets In Detail Westsail the Grid?

The Mystical Runa

August 12, 2017

jacquelinetrudeau Sailboats , Sculptie Sails , Second Life , yawls 3 Comments

TrudeauRuna1

We at Trudeau Yachts are always looking for the next inspiration. This one came from within Second Life itself. It turns out a close SL friend of Jacqueline Trudeau works in the fashion industry. Within that industry he is a designer of women’s handbags and other leather goods. Within that job description he reports to those at the top of the fashion houses where he works.  For a time the very top of this particular fashion house was Yves Carcelle, a well respected executive and by all accounts well loved within the organization he headed.  But business and fashion was not the only thing Monsieur Carcelle lived for.  His passion was sailing, and in particular the sailboats of Danish designer Gerhard Rønne (1879-1955).  Rønne was a building architect, but also a passionate yachtsman who designed and oversaw the building of 10 yachts (6 for himself) beginning in 1910, all christened Runa (from I to X).

Runa IV

“It’s a name I found within myself. It indicates ‘rune’ – a little mystical. I am also aware that it has a nice sound to it”. — Gerhard Rønne ¹

Over the decades the Runa yachts were well tended to, sailed by humble everyday sailors to those of more noble standing, including an ex-commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, the son of a prestigious French pastry chef, a top Portuguese financier. ²

Fast forward a century later to 2009.  Carcelle, with his keen eye for classic beauty, acquired two of the five extant Runa yachts, the yawl Runa IV (1918) and cutter Runa VI (1927).  He commissioned beautiful stem to stern restorations of both and were relaunched in 2011 and 2013 respectively.

RunaIVRestore

Monsieur Carcelle actively participated both restored Runas in classic yachting regattas, but sadly about this time he was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of cancer which took his life in 2014.  One of his last acts was the commissioning of the book La Saga des Runa ,  a history of the Runas and an ode to all things Gerhard Rønne .

yves-carcelle-runa

This brings us back to Jacqueline’s SL friend.  As mentioned, he was one of Carcelle’s lieutenants, a sailing enthusiast himself and a personal eyewitness to Carcelle’s fleet of Runa yachts. “Jacqueline, il faut construire Runa!”  One quick google of the boats and it was absolutely agreed. But which one? Since we hadn’t done a multi-masted mesh yacht yet, it had to be the topsail yawl Runa IV.

RunaIV

The Trudeau Runa IV

Working from the Runa plans, it didn’t take long to get the basics in place.

trudeau classic sailing yachts

But that’s when the fun began. In keeping with the authenticity of the Runa, not only the sailplan but things like the rope lashings that make fast sails to spars, multi-part sheets for all sails, blocks and tackles for the gaff halyards, etc. would have to be modeled, and scripted to move in concert with every angle of sail trim. (if some of you are wondering why this boat has been under construction for longer than it would take to build the RL version, that is a good part of the reason why!)

trudeau classic sailing yachts

(and a big thanks to our beta-testers who revealed that what we originally thought was scripted to move in concert with every angle of sail trim wasn’t quite so!)

We added a Danish-finish inspired cabin interior, also based on the RL Runa:

trudeau classic sailing yachts

One slight change, in addition to the aft quarter single berths we added a forward double vee-berth in place of the head in the RL Runa. Because everyone in SL knows, avatars need sleep more than those other bodily functions :-) There are a total of 34   53 (v1.1) sit, sleep, above deck lounging and cuddle animations in the cabin. Headroom is at a premium, so you may have to belay that beehive hair-do before going belowdecks ;-) (Seeing water in the cabin? This is the explanation)

Underway, there are seating positions for skipper and 2 crewpersons  – 1 heel-offsetting hike position per side for the skipper, 3 per side for each crewperson.

trudeau classic sailing yachts

Other features of the Trudeau Runa IV include

  • Our should-have-been patented in-world luffing Tru-Sails.
  • 1 reefing setting (douses the jib and main topsail).
  • Wing and wing foresails for additional oomph when running before the wind.
  • Half a dozen built-in traditional color schemes.
  • Auto-rezzing boatyard jack stands (28LI).

Customization!

As with all Trudeau yachts, Runa IV is modify permission-ed allowing you to make her your own. These are the links to the Photoshop PSD templates for the:

Hull Parts (hull  – including the transom and boat name face, rudder and tiller 5.1MB)

Sails (all  – including jib, staysail, mainsail, topsail, mizzen, main/mizzen furl 20.4MB *Please read how to apply in the “Sailing the Trudeau Runa IV” card that comes with the boat*)

Bowsprit (including boomkin, hardware, stays, chainlinks, etc 17.1MB)

Decks (including gunwales 13.1MB)

Deck furniture (including cabin, cockpit, coamings, hatches, skylight, etc 26.2MB)

Spars (including mast, booms, gaffs, halyards, stays, turnbuckle, etc 29MB)

(additional templates for other boat parts will be coming soon)

Dimensions:

Trudeau Runa IV – 85 prim equivalent , 51.66 ft (15.75m) length on deck, 75.85 ft (23.12M) length overall, 12.13ft (3.7m) beam, 7.5ft (2.3m) draft.  85 land impact moored, max 95 land impact when sailing.

Come view her at Trudeau Classic Sailing Yachts and see if you are ready for a sail into the mystic.

    The Westsail Trudeau 32 Being wood snobs, modeling a fiberglas constructed boat like the Westsail 32 is a departure for us at Trudeau. However not entirely, we had the Westsail 32 in mind back in 2005 with our very first offering, the Trudeau 32.
