Alpine Rivage

Rivage, from Alpine Marine, as delivered to the Canadian Coast Guard Service and christened the CCGS Gord Downie in honour of one of the countries most beloved singer/songwriters, lost to brain cancer in 2017.
She's out of Kingston and will patrol from Lake Ontario to the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

RIP Gordie Baby

**All navigation controls are within reach when seated in the Command Chair except the rudders (which can be operated via remote control) when playing SP.

Make your way to the bridge
At Port side entrance, find and turn on all 7 breakers
At Pilot Helm*, on the Port side, find and activate the 4 flip switches (Fuel, Navigation, Instrument and Running Lights)
Press and hold briefly the Starter button(Arrow)
Above the RPS and Temp instruments find the touchscreen Throttle HUD
Throttle up and sail away, steer using the A/D keys (or maneuver out of port with the thrusters first)

* See the screenshot above for reference

Maneuvering Thrusters are located on the Starboard side of helm, use as indicated
Cruise mode is default, press Pursuit mode for greater speed and fuel burn :)

Rivage means 'shore', and it's a good idea to keep that in sight. It's not a deep water or heavy wave ship. It's very low to the water and shallow of draught. It's intended for use in and around the Sawyer's which, for me, is the area most like Canada's St Lawrence seaway that we have in the game.
Windchaser Mode is recommended in high wind conditions in open water.
You may want to tighten up the anchor cable, RHIB straps and stern winch cables before getting underway. It's not a big deal but they can drag in the water if you don't take that little bit of slack out of them.
Tightening up the bow anchor should (before sailing) have it tuck up inside the bow a bit so it doesn't drag.
Since the crane is unpowered on spawn, it may swing to one side. Best to recenter it before sailing.
The RHIB may need a nudge to get it off the ramp when launching depending on sea conditions.
There's a couple of Easter eggs...one for those who know who Gord Downie is and one for most everyone else :)
There's one xml edit...the proximity/volume of the large engines. They run quiet and the ship idles low...watch gauges.
All controls are labeled, and instructions for any of the bridge systems should be found on their respective Workshop page. Failing that, I will try to assist if you are having troubles.
There's some areas not finished, (mostly below decks). I ran out of gas, but may update these things later.
Windchaser designed and most of the advanced logic systems installed by Samuel Pepys as well as help with testing, bouncing ideas off of, etc. Many thanks good sir!
MS Paint + Taijin's Stormworks Toolbox used for most lettering
As usual, many thanks to those who share their creations on Workshop for all to use and enjoy. These cool things went into the Rivage...

-Added winches to helo deck for tie downs
-Changed the auto-foghorn to a new horn system that signals when at anchor, towing and when in fog

Happy Sails!
