I like small ships too, and I have a couple designed.
There is only one thing I don't like about ships this size, and it is that if mini-figures were to represent real people, this would be a very small boat. In relation to the lego pirate ships, like BSB, it is a reasonable size. But if you look at some of the huge lego ships, which actually would be about the right size for minifigures, ships like this one would be a rowboat.
