Legostone Posted July 10, 2018 In the port of Fuerte Unido silence has been covering the port, observing lots of precious cargo being loaded into a small vessel ready to head out. Why and where they are planning on heading to has yet to be specified... Right after loading this precious cargo, orders to rebuild the Triunfo were quickly passed over to Farrucio Paraja.

Professor Thaum Posted July 10, 2018 Wow, a really nice one... this one has steerings like old phoenician ships on the side ? is that allright ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darnok Posted July 10, 2018 Very nice one, loving all the ornamentation on the rear! Smooth sailing on the wooden seas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted July 10, 2018 Very nice ship, great use of small prefab hulls, the golden ornement looks really good, I always wanted to build a yacht like this, I think I'll probably steal your design. 32 minutes ago, Professor Thaum said: steerings like old phoenician ships on the side I think these planks are leeboards, to lessen sideways drifting.

Mesabi Posted July 11, 2018 Loving your new Ship @Legostone, this one really knocks it out of the park with the detailing. The oars on the side (or rudders, whatever they're called.) are a great addition, and make the boat very unique on the brick Seas. I honestly think this one is your best one yet. Put it on an AMCRA so it can't be sunk! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LM71Blackbird Posted July 11, 2018 A great looking ship Legostone! I like all the detail work you've done on it. 3 hours ago, Mesabi said: Put it on an AMCRA so it can't be sunk! Yes, it would be a pity for it to sink on a trade run! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think these planks are leeboards, to lessen sideways drifting. That's what I tried to say... I didn't know the true word and the word in french is the same for steerings and leeboards ("derive" ou "gouverne") Pour être clair la distinction entre dérive et gouverne n'est pas précisément marquée en français, alors qu'il y a 5 ou 6 mots en anglais (steering, leeboard, leeway, rudder, etc) Edited July 11, 2018 by Professor Thaum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As @Professor Thaum and @Bodi have noted these are indeed leeboards I'm not sure yet, but I might be sending it off for an AMRCA this month... more political drama 5 hours ago, LM71Blackbird said: A great looking ship Legostone!

I think these planks are leeboards, to lessen sideways drifting. Exactly: that is quite typical for (mainly) ships in shallow waters like the coasts of Holland / Western-Germany / Denmark. You raise the one on the windward side and lower the one on the lee side (that is why they are called leeboards in English I guess, the Dutch refer to them as 'swords' or 'side swords'. I used to have a little sailing boat that also had them (German made). The main convenience is that if you want to hit the beach you can without any problems since you don't have a fixed keel, same goes for shallow banks that one needs to overcome without crashing your ship.

Bart Posted July 11, 2018 Great build! As a Dutchy that spends a majority of his time on the water I recognized the Statenjacht instantly :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
