[MOC]Pirate Cog + Tips for folding sail

[Third Navigator]

 

This ship's hull design is based on the set 6250.(Cross Bone Clipper) I did not own the set, but I know the ship's hull is good for small ship.

And there are more additional parts from last original sets.

 

 

(Ship with 4 minifigs)

 

In her body,

There are rudder, steering wheel(steering pole instead in 6250), 1x1 round tile(magnetic compass), cannon, mast rigging. 

winch for derrick crane, windras for anchor chain. 

 

 

Steering wheel of the ship.

In the set 6250, there are ancient steering pole, narrow bridge and cabin. But I didn't reflect that design for better display.

Now she had bridge for maximum 3 minifigs, cabin and window in stern.

 

 

There is also the potential to put the functionality of the set 6271(working rudder) here.(Real time)

 

Navigational instrument, Cannon, Windras, Winch and derrick crane.

*  (Sextant, telescope, map, magnetic compass) These tools help navigators locate their ship, day and night.

* Cannon, some may know. Idea from the set 6280 armada flagship for better shooting angle with single cannon. 

* Windras, It's connection way is the reason for rigging parts in this small ship. Thanks to them, it works well.

* Winch and derrick crane, So they were built in the simplest and most durable way I could think of.

 

 

Bow statue, Red keel, Bulwark. They are from 6250 Cross Bone Clipper.  

 

Sail, It is Barracuda ship's one.

It is pretty wide sail. So I think it is good to viking ships.(31132 + thor ship)

 

The thread not a decoration. It's for folding sail with simple build(You don't even have to tie)

 

I can fold her sail, by pulling one brick. 

I can also lower the center of gravity by lowering boom.

 

Tips: (bricklink ID 85861) 

This small brick is one of most important things for folding sail.(+reason for my failure in the past year)

This small part plays three important role: pulls the sail down, prevents wear and tear on the thread and sail.
