One of the better representations of a small frigate that I have seen. The
sails have been exceptionally well-done - the proportions of squeezing in
five set with the royals and sky-sails is most impressive. Another touch I
like is the boat mounted inside the cutter to save space, as was typical in
reality. Jibs in general replaced sprit-sails - any reason for including
both? Just for fun, or is there a time-frame where both were used?
