[MOC] Explorer Fleet (Yellow Sails) update with a new medium-sized ship: The Polacre

[Legostein]

Hello again everybody!

For those who liked the "Explorer Fleet" with the yellow sails, there is a new ship type joining the fleet: a Polacre (with a large latin sail first, before the masts with square sails). With that the Explorer fleet comes with a...

- Galleon

- Polacre

- Xebec

- Carrack

- and many small boats (latin sailer, cutter, catboats)

But first the pictures of the Polacre:

 

And here for comparison a lineup of all medium-sized ships of the Explorer Fleet, from left to right: Galleon, Polacre, Xebec, Carrack

 

And finally - just for completion - the small boats (the first one is new, too, by the way), from left to right: a Cutter, a Latin Sailer, a small Catboat

 

Thanks for stepping by, take care and see you around!

Thank you for sharing these images! I've been looking at ways to modify one of these narrow-hulled vintage ships and this is some good material for me to work with!

Solid little ship that would fit well into any nautical scene. Well done.

Nice fleet, have you got any shots of them all together? I do like how many different sail patterns you've made from a few pieces.

Thank you for stepping by, all three of you!

You are right, there are quite some ships with yellows sails now. The main challenge for group photos is always: free space. I hope to get a proper light source soon to make a photo of the entire fleet which I will gladly show to you then at this place.

Cheers,
