Well, I am a fan of schooners, and it's nice to see another fore-and-aft vessel out there with a proper amount of privateer pop-guns. I'm looking forward to seeing the Lady Grace complete with sails. -->Bruce<-- (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

I'm not a fan of schooner rigs generally, but I'd love to see this one under full canvas - she'd (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Well, I've been saying that I need to get this privateer of mine finished, and I've dropped her name a number of times. At long last, photos of 'Her Ladyship' have arrived! The pre-moderation teasers: (URL) the gallery, with pictures predominantly (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.pirates)
