I too had mostly a very low opinion of the short ratlines, but I thought to
myself it would have to be a very small ship, wait a moment didn’t I buy
those small black and dark-gray hulls
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6051cx3 and
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6053cx3 to build a very small ship?
So thus was born the Black Pearl-lite!!
What do I like with what I did with this MOC?, I like the black, gray and a
touch of red colors. I like that she has a spinnaker boom. I like my bronze
swivel guns. I like that I the used the gun ports in the bow to lower the
attachment points of the far forward mast’s rigging. I like the rake of the
mast and the fact that I used real lego sails and they actually looked good!
I love the fairness of her lines ( how? wedge sloped
http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/psearch?query=wedge+sloped&limit=none)
she looks so yare setting there (with one brick under her portside) making
her look hard-over on her attack reach.

This is one of the nicest small hulled vessels ever! The use of the dread 4+
pirates sails is very effective.

You can almost here the peg-leg hook-hand captian yelling “Fire as she bears
boys, and shiver me timbers!!”. Amazingly most people don’t know what “shiver
me timbers” means.
Well, I think that she’s low, clean and neat! And very tiny!
What do y’all think?

Magnificent! To be an effective pirate, she needs more crew, though.
