(...) I really like it, Kurt! The sail plan and fighting tops are very realistic. I also like the boat hanging over the stern. The after castle seems a bit high for a frigate, however the proportions are otherwise very nice. Nice ensign as well! (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) A magnificent effort! The hull widening from the standard hull pieces is masterful. The fighting tops are usefully large, and the doubling of the ratlines to the tops is clever - giving the effect of a nice backward sweep. The steeper than (...)
