Yachts

[davidjellis76]

How do I get the people to use thier personal family yachts? The yachts just sit there and get in the way most of the time.

They don’t get ‘used’ per se. A flag on top of the noble’s house indicates who owns a yacht.

What I'm wondering is if it's possible to get more than three yachts from one shipwright. I need five yachts for the Iunu scenario, but my shipwright made three and stopped making any more despite having plenty of cedar and lots of other nobles to serve.

Hi, no they can only make 3, youll need another shipright.

[jmyers2043]

The shopright will build as many yachts as the number of nobles assuming enough cedar.

[MichiganKOM]

Then why don't they? By the way, I have seen the yachts out and about on the water. It seems they can be used, but rarely.

sorry but I have never used more than on shipbuilder and have had them build at least 12 yachts.

@lilbitz5, can confirm what tunaski said, same, I always only ever had one shipwright and they will make as many yachts as needed if all conditions are met. The key things to check:
(1) do the nobles have plenty of spare food, they'll spend food on common/luxury goods first before 'buying' enhancements
(2) is the noble satisifed (ie, not too busy complaining to be bothered putting in an order for a yacht)
(3) Is the noble building upgraded to large status (not entirely sure if this is needed before they'll trigger a request for a yacht, might be case of so long as they have their basic needs, and there's a shipwight)
(4) does the shipwight have plenty of cedar (from memory takes something like 6 or 8 or 12 cedar to make a yacht before they'll build
(5) Is the shipwright satisfied? Maybe they too busy complaining to be building boats, ie they got access to a Bakery for getting bread, common goods sellers etc

Sometimes, clicking on the building and then following the occupants of the building for a bit can reveal some issue (ie, maybe walking too far to get their bread, give up, retreat to the home, only to exit and do same thing).
