New Sims and Theme


NEW THEME AND SEAPLANE BASE

In order to keep up with the growing interest in Seaplanes we have added two more sims to the Estate. Bull Rock and Grand Manan Island. GMI is the beginning of the new North Woods/Newfoundland theme. This new area is still very similar to New England but will be a harsher environment. More rugged on the water line and yet more lush and more trees in the interior. It is also colder so the season changes should hit there first as it works its way down.

Located on GMI is a Seaplane base called Aurora Base. There are docks here that are wider for the planes as well as some cottages for rent. Plus, a hanger and Terminal as the centerpiece of the island. The Terminal will have a viewing / control tower and should have a great view.

In Bull Rock we have added a new feature for those who like live aboards. We have mooring buoys available and several of them are parceled as well.

As we expand the new theme into more residential, we have added that in the this North Woods/Newfoundland theme seaplanes and helicopters will be allowed on residential land. There are some size restraints of the aircraft and of coarse the usual keeping the passages clear for sailing.

Sailors Cove is still a sailing first community and have not changed from our commitment to that. This new theme helps to address the fact that many landowners desire to have a plane left out. The current two themes do not permit that.

Sailors Cove is on the move again and the future looks exciting.
