Her simplified rig allows for easy handling by her small crew (Master, master’s mate and half a dozen (...) (18 years ago, 6-Sep-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !
| | | | | The cutter Tréfroid
|
| (URL) The Trésfroid is a cutter operating in the waters around Port Brique, a much more modern design than many of my other vessels.

| | | | | The Bomb Ketch Bloviator
|
| The Bloviator is the new Bomb Ketch of the French Squadron based in Port Brique in the South Pacifique. Bomb ketches are not generally described as ‘graceful’ or ‘elegant’, but this black hulled mortar vessel is a particularly ugly example. Her (...)

| (...) Very nice work! I might need to rethink my decision not to pick up a police boat. Any chance of squeezing a depth charge rack or two aboard? Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing.

| | | | | Re: USCG Cutter
|
| It looks really good - way to go! Big boats are always good. The bow looks a bit blocky - I guess you did it with slopes; you might want to look at how the designers make boat hulls with plates, however, I can't do any better, so I can't really (...)

| | | | | USCG Cutter
|
| (URL) So here is really my first MOC on a large scale and I really need some feedback. I started with the intention of building a USCGC 270 but then once I got into realized that the scale was more appropriate for a USCGC 210 (URL). I have a lot of (...)

| I like this a lot! Especially the colour scheme. It works very well but I would never have thought to chose it. Well done! The shields are also a great way to disguise those annoying gaps. Great work all round! God Bless, Nathan Visit my brickshelf (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.boats, FTX)

| | | | | Viking Knarr (or Knorr)
|
| Ahoy etc Although the longship is the iconic viking vessel, the knarr (or knorr) was generally the vessel of choice for trading. (URL) My knarr (or knorr) is shorter than my longship (only two hull centre sections). The rail is a perhaps fanciful, (...)

| (...) According to Tim Severin, in Odinn's Son (a work of fiction, but TS is a noted maritime historian), wealthier vikings had a specially tailored canopy. But for the most part, yes, it would have been the sail. Cheers Richie Dulin (19 years ago, 13-Apr-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)

The Vikings, inventors of the sleeping bag, would sleep under the sail for protection. So the (...) (19 years ago, 13-Apr-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)

I've felt funny planning a prominant "front end" to my boat because I read that they made them to travel in either direction (hence the mast being positioned dead (...)

Well, you know I'd love to, but I'd take flak from the masses for being even more of a compartmentalized dork, right? ;-) In my own defense, here's (...)
