I came across the following cool little ship by Cale Leiphart: (URL) It's got little propellers, so it's probably meant for the Isle of Mist over in .castle.org.cw, but take off the props and it's a very cool little pirate ship in its own right. Go (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Hello, I've bought new mast set from BSB, but the problems occured. One of the riggings seems to be too short. I've looked to BSB instruction scans and I've noticed the mainmast base and ends of its riggings are on the same level, while the altmast (...) (23 years ago, 10-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)
