Thanks!

What a wonderful subject--this proves that scale is no barrier to detail. Tiny can be mighty!

SUPER!

It looks like a wonderful job. However, has anyone who models sailing ships EVER looked at how a sailboat sails, or how the sails set? If Victory is running dead down wind, the spanker should be all the way out to the Mizzen ratlines. On any other point of sail, the yards should be canted so the wind is catching them and she should be heeling somewhere between 20 and 40 degrees off the horizontal.

I'd say given the scale, that's accentuated very well with this image,:



the depiction of the sails are acceptable.

Scaled subjects with denominators less than 4 digits may want to consider how depictions for sheets are under wind conditions.

The spanker seems to be sheeted on the centerline. That would do nothing to balance the headsails pushing the bow to starboard.

Thank you for your remarkable comments.I was attempting at this scale for my first time. The whole construction was under windless conditions (i was holding my breath)!!!
