Frivolous (6th rate) or not.
I used a 2x2x11 column on the foremast and (iirc) bricks on the main. The
2x2x11 column is nice, but it doesn’t attach securely enough (and the mast
base above certainly doesn’t attach securely enough either). I’d be inclined
to go for a column of 2x2 bricks with one or more technic axles in the centre
next time. The axles could be used to secure through the deck, and into a
substantial fighting top to which a mast base could be firmly attached.

Miserable will be on the stocks for a while, huh? itll be easy pickings without
her around. :-)
the men will be happy to have another Brit around, hopefully that project will
come to fruition! or, you could build a companion for Mis.....
hey, maybe we can even get Port Block in on the action again, would love to see
more from him.
thanks for the clarification on the sails issue as well, i thought they attached
somehoe to the outer railing, but i was not completely sure. im planning on a
full set of sails for my current ship, including Royals, mizzen topgallant, and
if i feel ambitious enough, studding sails. i want there to be so much darn
canvas that you cant see the ship at all, just a blanket of white! ;-)
best regards,
steve
