The Trésfroid is a cutter operating in the waters around Port Brique, a much
more modern design than many of my other vessels.
Built on a one centre section narrow hull (from the Sealion), the
Trésfroid’s hull is widened using inverted slopes to achieve sufficient hull
width. The hull is built with conventional studs up bricks, although the gallery
(such as it is!) is angled.
The Trésfroid is much closer ‘to scale’ than most of my vessels, and the
cutter rig, with its raked mast, is fairly close to early nineteenth century
practice.
Sails are, as is my usual practice, parchment paper, although the size is
pushing what can be made from an A4 sheet.
I’m quite happy with the result, although I think the mainmast/topmast join is
far from ideal, and there are a few details which will no doubt be enhanced over
time.
Cheers
