Reprendre
=============
The privateer Reprendre is the latest from Port Brique yards.
Inspired by some the recent work displayed on .pirates, the Reprendre
represents a return to shipbuilding for me, and incorporates several
improvements over my earlier large (4 centre section+) vessels: the
Eponine II, the Misérable and the HMLS Intractible. The hull curve is
more graceful (ala Stephen Rowe’s work) and the tops more substantial
(Kurt Baty’s work). And the colour scheme is very traditional (I have
yet to apply the Baty-esque electrical tape though).

Richie, I like it a lot, but I think your bow good be better, it’s too squaresh
and the stem is to thick and not far enought forward of the keel. Your top deck
forward should be even with the rise of the keel (the edges of the bow piece)
Just a thought.
