And I have my doubts about those anchors, too - they're just not going to hold a large frigate in place in anything more than a slight breeze (or a mild current). And if the tiny anchor does, by some minor (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au)

| I need your help. :-( I encoded a bunch of LCAD files for various minifig faces, and it may be that I (accidentally) encoded an extra one, for a face pattern that doesn't really exist. (Oops...)
