(...) Hmmm... there's an idea - front-rudder steering :) What if the triangular sail was used as a kind of gaff, i.e. RBR style? Would that be 'acceptable'? Michael Dallaston (who's very good at making gaffes :P) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) rereleasing old sets costs a lot less. They don't have to do any set design, they don't have to make instructions, and they don't have to do any playtesting. They did design a new box for these, but that is probably a very minor cost compared (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.pirates)
