Wind Set Fair For The Voyage

The lookouts have sighted our next port of call - buried treasure worth £6,000! There'll be a reward for all members of the crew when we land.

As promised, the entire crew of backers can now enjoy a visit to the ship's stores and obtain additional ships which each come with the appropriate guns and crew. We have set a 15% discount for backers only, and free shipping (because these orders are going to be shipped with the pledges).

To do so the backer must register with our shop and, when they have done that, send an email and we will activate their account. If they are already customers, they need only send us an email with their full name to have their account activated.

Let's hoist some more canvas and get to that island as fast as the wind'll take us!
