Once you achieve level 50 in any ship milestone catagory you can purchase a second ship of the same type.
All Ship decorations must be unlocked for each boat, they do not carry over.
Trinkets you only have to purchase once ( i believe )
Personally, i have all 5 sloops already.. and they all have a unique personality and i dress accordingly.
One sloop i use when i Solo.. the others with a buddy. i like to keep my Solo stats seperate.
One is PVP only.. well, mostly PVP.
-The Black Barnacle: Black w Barnacles and Silent Barnacle accessories.
-Athenas MisFortune: White Pirate Legend set
-The Sage Dragon: Green / Black w Eastern Winds figurehead, mostly PvE
-Why so Serious: Dressed as the Joker, i cause chaos & tell people about my scars (cus people take this game too seriously)
-Harpys Wail: Bone crusher sail, used for mostly PvP
Each sloop is different and depending on my mood.. i sail all of em
