Today's mission; lengthen the backstay to decrease mast rake. I'm trying to relieve helm pressure to increase boat speed.

I take two things from this Dobbs apart from the fact that you are much more agile than I am.
They are:- what nice water lilies, and that jetty may well end up on one of my dioramas.
Oh! and as I have mentioned before, great boat you have there.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
At the moment I am working on something somewhat smaller than yours Dobbs.
I can actually also reach the topmast of this without any strain whatever.

I love your little sloop! I can make up a base card for it if you want. Where did the hull come from?Originally Posted by Bligh

The hull is a Langton Dobbs, and the sails from an Ares Frigate which I deconstructed to provide some sinking ships. A base card would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I imagine a Hebe frigate? Do you have a part number on the hull? Now I must find a Langton distributor on this side of the Pond.
What name would you like on the card?
Oh, and what nationality?
Waterloo Minis.is the Langton dealer in the US
Has HMS Naiad been painted yet (possibly workbench for August)? What SoG ship did you use for your sails, I would like to do the same for mine.At the moment I am working on something somewhat smaller than yours Dobbs.
