A Side Project

A few years back I had an extra sloop floating around and decided to make something. I had all the brigs and schooners that I wanted, so I chose to make a brigantine.

In my original attempt, I gave her a fore and aft gaff mainsail with no squares on the mast. To fill the gap between the fore and the main, I stuck in a small gaff sail on the back of the forecourse mast.

Further research indicated that nobody made brigantines that way, and it bugged me. I decided to correct my mistake a few days ago. Here's the finished result:

The brigantine Henrietta

And a very nice converted conversion too Dobbs.
Must try one of those for my US Squadron before we get stuck into the Med again in the Spring.

Yep, that looks like a brigantine!

Here's a link to what she looked like before this latest conversion. The original version is in the lower left corner.

Incidentally, I just tallied them and I have 14 sloops and only 3 are unmodified Swan class ship-sloops!
