Hi all , I have found this Xebec ship with similar scale to Sails of Glory models

I want to do some minor mod to it

46535

Compared to a Sog 2nd rate San Agustin

That looks great, its going to give you lots of fun designing scenarios for it.

Do you have a link to the site?

Nice. Xebecs is one of the vessels missing in Sails that would be great if they added.

Keep in mind that she will sail much closer to the wind than the other square rigged SoG ships. Here is an earlier thread with a sample ship card. Dobbs did a lot of conversion work and research on this topic:
