I made this for the CCContest at

it here. Add cannon and arm the crew and it becomes a small coastal raider. :)


Nice work! I like the railings and the small ladder to the quarter deck
particularly, and fully decked vessels are always pleasing.

For a medieval vessel, the main mast looks too far aft, and the (horizontal) bow
sprit seems out of period. As a general guideline, bowsprits evolved from masts
over time, gradually moving from the vertical to the horizontal.

Nice choice of piece for the tiller, too.

Cheers
