You're lacking the stays under the bow sprit but aside from that it looks good.

Ah yes, I forgot to put those back in Drawing should be updated now.

By the way, I expect to see some more sailing vessels done now too - if I can manage it then anyone can

Nice. What rate do you think she'd be?

She's a brig that means it below the rates by definition.

Rowdy36, sorry for this belated reply. I've only now noticed your brig. It looks very nice - a lot of potential there - but I think, nay I recommend you staggering the masts, at least some 9-12 degrees aft, to better carry the sails she has.

Thanks bezobrazov, though I'm not sure what you mean by staggering the masts. Could you elaborate for me please?

Hi Rowdy,

I think bezobrazov is referencing the way that the masts on most ships in that era seem to slant backward slightly (I guess to try and reduce the bending moment from the sails?) - I was actually about to ask the same question myself, but bezo beat me to it, by some margin...
