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 Richie Dulin
