| (...) Thanks! (...) The fore and mainmasts are quite fragile... the main is based on a 2x2x11 (IIRC) round brick, the fore on several 2x2's. That, combined with the high-mounted ratlines prevents them being too strong. The fore-and-aft rigging helps (...) (22 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.pirates)

| Richie, WOW, That is one awesome vessel! I really liked the masts and the sails, very detailed. This is really impressive, how much does it weigh? Congratulations on an awesome accomplishment. Jon (22 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.pirates)

| I've seen the same image and wondered. I very much doubt these keels will be compatible with TLC hulls, but depending on how many of those decorations can be stripped off, you might be left with a hull base suitable for a pirate-era ship -- albeit (...)

You're right about the rocks-at-sea and historical-compatibility issues, though! (...) (22 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle)
