I'm guessing this pirate ship is going to be a lot larger than the other ship flip-map?
I wonder if he meant the ship itself, rather than the mat? The other ship Flip-Mat (which I own) has, what, four different levels, side by side? If this Flip-Mat had a different layout for the ship, then the ship could be larger while still using the same, standard, format.
Product image updated and preview images added!
Why no PDF? I noticed this when it was not included in my downloads when my subscription shipped.
I assume it's an oversight because I can see that other Flip-mats still have PDF as an option.
This is my fault! Getting it fixed up right now.

This is why I love you guys.
I spend 12 hours a day purchasing product and not a single one of my suppliers is as prompt as the Paizo team. Example: Since I posted the above I have asked no less than ten suppliers for updates on orders. You are the first responder.
Thank you guys for being so rock-solid awesome!

Thank you! I took a look at your account and you should have access to the PDF now.
Does anybody know if this flip-mat will be used for the Skull & Shackles AP? Much like the Bandit Outpost was used in Kingmaker.
A new secondary image has been added to show how the Flip-Mat works with the Ship's Cabins Map Pack.

This is very awesome! My wife and I love when the flipmats and map packs work together somehow. Please keep trying to do this with as many more as you can!

We will do it when we can.
"We don't reprint Flip-Mats when they sell out—we just introduce new ones with similar themes."
Which Flip-Mats are similar to this? I want to run the Skulls and Shackles Adventure Path and need a Pirate Ship. I really don't want to use a PDF.

Sadly, the only similar flip-mat was the (even longer out-of-print) Flip-Mat: Ship.
Fortunately, both selling out underscores the popularity of ship-themed mats -- and the importance of a replacement. I don't think they'll go too long without producing another one.
Are any of these great OOP flip-mats going to get re-prints under the new Pathfinder branding??
The answer is almost certainly no. More likely is that they'll reprint a different ship flip-mat. They dont generally reprint these things, since they'd probably struggle to sell the same volume second time around - which means lower margins or holding stock for ages.

I'll give Erik a nudge on that point!
In general, when one flip-mat sells out, they'll make a new one with a similar theme but not exactly the same design. For instance, Dungeon (original) to Dungeon (Crypt of the Everflame version) to Haunted Dungeon, or Woodlands to Forest to Deep Forest. This has the benefit of appealing to customers who already have the old versions but the detriment of no longer being an exact tie-in to adventures that used the old versions for encounter maps.
If Pirate Ship is sold out, I'd expect a slightly different shipboard map to be produced in the future. Not necessarily in time for your campaign, though. :\

sigh... I wish they'd make exception to their regular common practice and make another run of the various ships products
You might want to consider buying the PDF and then bringing the file to a print shop and having them print it out and then laminating it. It works pretty slick and while it will not fold at least you will have a copy to use until a new one comes along or you are able to find a hard copy of it. :)
Over three months down the line and still no word on a new ship-themed mat? I understand these things take time, but three months represents many missed opportunities. Perhaps Paizo should have an "evergreen" list of flip mat themes that are never allowed to go out of print, and throw "ship" on that list? Just sayin.'

We work more than three months in advance, I'm afraid. There *is* a new ship-themed Flip-Mat on the schedule for early next year.
And yes, we do have a list of themes that we do want to keep alive (ships, taverns, dungeons, etc.); we just failed to notice how quickly this one was selling out, so we didn't have a replacement lined up in time.

Excellent. I believe that just confirming that a new ship mat of some sort is in the pipeline will reassure people that their concerns are being addressed.

Gotcha. Looks like I was late to the party, then. Carry on. ;)
Flip-Mats, no, but Map Packs yes.
The 2014-2015 catalog lists Flip-Mat: Warship (PZO30065) in May 2015.
Can we please have this map join the Classic line?
I could really use it.
