Ahoy,
Something different from the shipyards of Port Brique (and something that
didn’t work out quite as well as planned either), the merchant brig
Nonlibre Billet.
More pics are here, post moderation. It’ll probably get a rebuild at some point, I think
there are a few improvements that can be made.
Cheers

Hi Richie,
Am I currect in thinking this can float?
|
It probably depends on the liquid on which one tries to float it. Though I
haven’t tested it on water, I am pretty sure that it won’t float, unless one
broadens the definition of float to include ‘sinking more slowly than expected’.
But even if it did float, it would do so upside down. :-(
| |
If so I think a lot of leeway can be given for the rest of it.
|
Ha ha! Excellent use of the nautical term ‘leeway’.
| |
I agree it’s not quite up to your usual high standard but I’m sure the
version 2 will do justice to your aims and goals.

I think, ultimately, this hull is unlikely to produce a ‘great’ sailing vessel
(wrong shape, wrong proportions), also the other design limitations I used for
the Nonlibre Billet do limit the appearance significantly (though some of
these can be addressed).
Why thank you! It is always a pleasure to have a moc spotlighted by someone of
your building ability.
Cheers
Richie Dulin
