Naviculatio: Difference between revisions

===Modern Naviculatio===

In the aftermath of the [[Second Great War]] a number of things came together elevate Naviculatio to its current status. Firstly, maritime gas combustion engines became widely available to the consumer market allowed for the construction of private motor yachts. Secondly, many veteran officers of the [[Imperial Naval Fleet]] returned home and wanted to keep sailing. Thirdly, many of the returning enlisted sailors were able to leverage their veterans benefits to elevate their standing in society and join the middle or upper middle class, which allowed them to buy into the "yachting class". And finally, many shipyards who had been building ships for the war were more than happy to retool their manufacturing to mass produce modest motor yachts to meet the new market demand.
