Lindberg Jolly Roger float test


Recommended Posts

Looking good -- I have one of these waiting to be turned into Jack Aubrey's HMS Surprise...

I think your biggest problem is going to be keeping her stable if there's enough breeze to sail her at all... all the model yachts I've ever owned have had thin, deep keels, usually with a chunk of lead at the bottom...

Worth having a look here:

if you want some inspiration, and ideas about what rig a 19th century frigate would really be carrying as she sailed, rather than Lindberg's "let it all hang out" approach...

bestest,

M.
