hi Mr Dulin, thank you very much for the compliments! i am very happy with
the overall design, it will translate nicely to my next ship (though she will
be frigate sized;-)) as far as the sails are concerned, the reason i leave
out mainsails is that i rig my ships close to how they would be rigged when
sailing into battle, enough sail to maintain speed and maneouverability, but
not so much as to pass the enemy too quickly! ;-) the other thing is, i made
some mainsails for Scimitar, and found that i didnt like the way they covered
up much of the ship from most angles, so i left them off, and decided to
forego them on this ship, maybe i will try out a set and see how they look
though. i did consider a gaff topsail, but never got around to it. im still
trying to improve my custom sails, but they are getting better. i realized
after i took my pics, that i completely forgot to add some rowboats to the
deck! how embarrassing! anyway, thanks again, and i look forward to seeing
what you will have in store for us!
oh, here is the link for my rerigged Tempest, could i burden you by asking
you to spyglass this one instead? sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks!

Same suggestion came to mind when I looked at it - needs a rowboat of some kind,
and a capstan on the deck. I suspected that you left off the mainsails for
visual reasons. Very nice overall, really looks the part!
