    Really cool design, Capt Wolf - made me wiki vertical windmills - and this is a great example. I particularly like the "jacket" for the sails, and the use of those 1x4 slope/bow pieces for roof. A good story and the nice irregular base results in good presentation. Well done, Master of Mills!

    We will find a compromise. And pardon for not giving feedback on the other build, but it was also to avoid overloading Mesabi, who hasn't had time to come back to the others. :)

    Cargo allows you to make many trading. A ship with no cargo would in game terms only function as a warship, as there is no in game purpose of a ship that can't trade or can't fight. A little vessel like this would probably be for trading, and should hence have a cargo stat. For a short trip, it could probably jam on some soldiers (if the cargo stat is used for that), but its primary purpose would likely be inshore trade between nearby settlements, I should think. :)

    Lovely little boat, Wellesley. Nice colour scheme and great looking deckhouse. I like the technique you have used for the hull. The parts usage for the leeboard is very clever too! The type is a yawl, I would say (look it up in Wikipedia). It has a very small second mast far aft, which would probably mainly serve for balance. Otherwise, one might call it a lugger or ketch, but I think yawl is most accurate. Remember that entering her into the challenge will give you a free license for her, so the oleanders better be happy, getting a licensed ship! :)

    Thanks. Never seen it before. A few modern sailboats have a rail that the sheet is fixed to. When you tack, it simply falls (the fix point runs to the other end of the rail, which is mounted starboard to port) to the other side like this little boom will, and I think that might be the modern equivalent. Doubt it would be used much for racing, though, as it can't be trimmed with the same flexibility as normal sheets. :) (At least I can't figure out how that would work)
  6. Bregir
    Yes, more or less. A catamaran would have two equal or similar hulls side by side. And outrigger is a normal boat with an (well, yes...) outrigger to give added stability:)

    Will you be adding a build here to allow the adventure to continue? Remember, it can be just a small build. @Maxim I

    @Maxim I Are you planning to add a build here? Otherwise, the adventure cannot proceed.

    Can you show some examples? :)

    The communications reaching the heads of the order had resulted in the outraged local clergy, fearing for their own comfortable positions, standing very much alone, getting no support, nor an explanation, on their requests for support. Some had accepted this and quieted down in nervousness, while a few in vengeful fervour was rumoured to have joined forces with the prometheans to retrieve the godly artefact and prevent it falling into the hands of the Order. In the dungeons, Padre Francois had ardously transcribed Sellefort's opus magnum and had been rewarded with the location of an ancient ruined acropolis, riddled with traps, where the temple should hold the lightning of Zeus. However, Sellefort was afraid he had already enclosed the same location to the prometheans, who would surely be converging on the polis in force. On the upside, a number of peasant volunteers had vowed their services to the Padre's cause, effectively doubling his forces. How will the padre proceed? @Ross Fisher

    Cool to see a (well-made) native boat entering the race! I like how you have hidden the connection between the two prefabs. Technically, this would be an outrigger rather than a catamaran, but that is probably nitpicking ;) Well done and good luck in the race!

    Nice little sloop, Captain. I like the colour scheme in particular ;) A little sparsely crewed, perhaps? :)

    All around excellent yacht, Professor! A very elegant, long, low and sleek vessel that I think will do very well in light weathers! Both bow and stern are using some interesting and effective techniques, but my favourite part of your build is the rigging. It looks very true to reality, including ropes for lowering the sail area in hard winds. My only comment is the odd little boom you have on the innermost jib (the forestaysail). I have never seen that - normally they would simply be sheeted home to the relevant side. Good luck in the cup!

    Hmm, I wonder what the race day judges will say to the use of guns during the event! :D Easily your best vessel yet, Gedren. Very nice all around - what material did you use for rigging and sails? Overall, the rigging is good, as is the details on the hull. The mast is a little funky, though, apparently not made from a spar, but to my surprise, it doesn't look bad at all. Optimally, I think it would benefit from being taller. Good luck in the races!

    Have the payment been processed? @Drunknok @Mesabi @Captain Genaro

    Ach. Sorry a ton. I will be back home from travelling Monday afternoon and will look into it as soon as I get the chance. :)

    By these numbers, she sound very similar to my class 2 "rover" cutter. And my immediate reaction is class two too. She seems lightly and narrowly built and low to the water. A fast little craft. However, it is a bit hard to say without a minifig or two to judge scale and a little more light on the photo. Would also like to see a photo from the side.

    I am currently travelling and will be all Easter, but I am very happy to see all those excellent entries for the interim challenge! I hope I will find the time to participate in all categories too :) I am also aware that I am a behind on the AMRCAs. I may do a bit of write ups while still away, but otherwise I will look into it once I am back :) Thank you for your patience, and keep all those great entries coming!

    There you go :)

    Rumour has it, initial shipping reports are starting to trickle in to the offices of the King's Port Advertiser! Set up a settlement thread - give it a temporary name. I see if we can produce a larger map, but for now, just mark the approximate location on a blown up cut out of the overall map.

    Good addition of the gaff! And since some sails are set without a boom, I think we can now call the standing rigging complete/awesome! :)
  23. Bregir
    A beautiful little sloop, Wellesley! The custom Hull is great, and I agree the colours go well together! As per the rules, I see nothing wrong her - the Eslandians can accept the gift if they so please. (which I think they will. ;)) As Ross suggested, I think adding a boom (and possibly gaff) for the missing mainsail would have finished her off nicely, even without the actual sails, but I like her and the rigging nonetheless! Cool how you have divided the mast even on such a small scale.
  24. Bregir
    Looks fabulous, @Wellesley! I noticed them on flickr and was hoping they were on their way to BoBS! You are welcome to participate any way you wish - alll you need to do is post your sig fig - then you are free to build at your own pace Cheers!

    Defence of the colonies requires well-drilled troops, and nothing beats the discipline of the redcoats. However, it requires a rigeruous training regime and devotion from men and officers alike, and takes time. In Jameston, a new battalion is almost done with their basic training and will be approved as regulars shortly. BoBS - Troop Raising by Lego Naut, on Flickr Thanks to @Legonaut for the excellent build - Corrington will raise 90 men in Jameston.
