Did you notice it’s a home-made cloth sail?

I did, yes!

I made a few experimental ones
before I deployed. I want to get back into it and make a whole bunch of
sails, both of the standard and new patterns.

I’m a fan of home made sails. I’ve made myself a set of sail templates (out of

REALLY crowded soon. Once my ships are all completed, I will attempt to run
the ESPG with some local friends of mine. Arrrr!!

Wow! Port Brique’s got a couple of hundred residents, plus visiting crews....
but you’ll be around or over a thousand... amazing.

| (...) Well, I grew up with Lego. My first set was when I was in 2nd grade or before, I think. I remember it was a little Blacktron II fighter. I always wanted the pirates though. I had a friend who had a 6274 (I think...never saw it assembled) and I (...) (21 years ago, 30-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)
