Ahoy! Another vessel from the current shipbuilding frenzy at Port Brique shipyards, the lateen rigged Adroit Main: (URL) (More pics (URL) here> post moderation).

I like it just because of the unorthodox color and plate-built masts. David (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Hi Christopher! Some good work here. I like the lookout, and especially love the different custom designs you used for the cannon and carronades. Also, thank you for the historical write up. I always enjoy that sort of supplement. Thanks for (...) (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Yeah, I've been out of the loop, but I do get the impression that my old lugnet haunts get a lot less traffic these days, now that theme-focused forums are on other sites too. (I personally still like it here; maybe it's a generation gap (...) (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)

(...) Holy moley--five months without a comment?!? Outrageous! I'm always impressed by Pirate-era MOCs, in large part because I have close to zero skill when it comes to building boats. The Inevitable is a fine looking vessel with a lot of (...) (18 years ago, 7-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)

Nice little ship. I assume they are carrying the finest wines and cheeses. I like the lines of the bow. There is something charming about the forecastle. Although when looking at the bow-on view I was reminded of the sloping front of CSS Virginia (...) (18 years ago, 7-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) 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 (...)

(...) Hi Richie, Am I currect in thinking this can float? If so I think a lot of leeway can be given for the rest of it. 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. (...) (18 years ago, 6-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
