(...) Splendid! This I *have* to see. A silly question: how many masts on the sloop? I've been reading up on my smaller ship classes lately (trying to figure out what I can build :) and I've found that sloops could either be brig-sloops (2 masts) or (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.pirates)
