CharlieB Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I'm just starting a small project to give my hands some exercise and need some help and suggestions. First off, I'm not an artist so forgive my drawing. I drew in the bowsprit, masts and yards along with the lines needed to raise everything inside the bottle. I think they look good but would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance...Charlie CB Pirate4.pdf Gwyl Blaser, Chasseur and exwafoo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseLee Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Looks like a good start. I would add lines above the yards passing through holes in the masts & add shroud lines. The lower front line needs to be just above the yard so it wont be in the way of the sail. Looks like a good project. I love those older style ships with multi level top decks!

Mike Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Overall, pretty good. Observations: The bow as seen in the overhead view looks a bit too fine - might be OK on a cutter, but less likely on a pirate ship Bow-sprit/jib-boom too long by half - shorten so that both stays end at the tip of the jib-boom (attached image) Bow-sprit/jib-boom should be steved up a bit - 10-20 degrees or so Add a jib stay from foremast top to inboard end of bow-sprit (attached iamge) Consider adding a 'water sail' on a yard beneath the outboard end of the bow-sprit Gwyl Blaser and JesseLee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I thing it's a great start. I like the idea of a water sail. Start adding to it and have fun with it. You'll think of more fun things to out on as you go. Gwyl Blaser and JesseLee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
