Well, I've always been a great fan of dutch traditional sailing ships, in particular the clippers.

(I've actually sailed with this one.. I can add, it's great, and these ships really are beautiful)

Hi Dikkay,
That is indeed a lovely boat. In England it is called a "Schyut", but interesting that you call her a clipper. Now I know why the AI ship in the game is called Clipper. She is a good example of the type with her leeboards and very big rudder.

Angus.

i just love their speed and the front of it

shame their getting rid of them i dont like the new wight ryder's not fast enough

The FastCats were nice, very sleek design...

Course Wightlink have to get the Wight Ryders operating fine before the Cats will go...

Well from what I hear, the Fastcats have been in service practically every day

And the Car Ferries aren't doing much better at the moment, it is a shame...

It is a shame - at one point they had just one ship out of 5 on the Fishbourne route.

The really should bring back Catherine...
