[COR-FB] Bonnie

[Spud The Viking]

To enter into the world of sailing and discovery I need a ship; so without further ado, here she is:

Bonnie, a Class 1 vessel that will be primarily used for trading, obviously not fighting. Though I'm not sure of she would be Class 1F or 1T?

I was recommended to follow a 'Barracuda Bermuda Rigged Sloop' style so I hopefully resemble that in some way, it's my first time rigging a ship.

And for the sake of @Mesabi it has an interior!

A small cargo hold indeed!

So there she be, a tad wee but she's still good looking, hence the name.

Nice little boat you've got there.

 

The sails look a bit improvised to me. Are they made of paper? You could print some pattern or your coat of arms on it.

She's a lovely little sloop, Spud. (What you are looking for is a "bermuda" rigged sloop, though ;) )

I think the rigging turned out really nice - what material did you use for the sails? I quite like the texture.

As to stats, are you aware that you can design your own stats? A class 1 has 9 stat points to distribute, so depending on what you want her to do, you can customize her. Example if you want to use her for mid range trade you could go for something like this:

Class	Cost	Stat Points	Range	Maneuver	Firepower	Crew	Cargo	Hull	Sum
			(1-6)	(1-6)	(0-12)	(0-12)	(0-15)	(0-12)
1	60	9	2	3	0	0	4	0	9

I think you might have been looking at the old links in the master index leading you to the old rules. I will look into fixing the links.

Thanks! I may use printing in future now you mention it.

Thanks you, glad you like her! I did not realise this and have simply entered the default stats for a class 1 into the license form, which is fine. 

The sails are made out of... wait for it... unused wallpaper. I had some lying around that is not the most appealing of colours and I thought would make a good improvisation for sails

Very nice sloop! I like the custom hull, your rigging and the blue and black work very well together.

[Bregir]

Sorry, I just noticed I had made a mistake in suggesting stats - They should now be in order:) Sorry if it brought any confusion!

[Mesabi]

Nice ship Spud! Much nicer than my first ship on BoBS. And having an interior is always great!

Thank you, I wasn't 100% sure on the colour scheme but I'm glad you like it.

Not a problem

Nicely done, Spud, a good looking little vessel indeed!   That hull does work, and the sails are great as well!  And interiors are always a plus!  

[Kwatchi]

I like her a lot.  A very clean build with striking colour contrast and you obviously put some effort into the sail plan.  Best of luck on the seas in the upcoming week.

Thank you, I will be using more of the hinge technique in the future!

Nice one! We need more Bermuda rigged sloops around as these were the workhorses of that Era. I especially like the colors and the cargo compartment! My only nitpicking is that you should have continued the same angling at the upper section of the bow (much like you did using the hinged plate at the lower section (hopefully I've made myself understood  ). Nevertheless your take on a Bermuda rigged sloop is waaaay better than my first BoBS ship of any type 

May the winds always blow at the right direction for you (ancient Oleander saying/wish)!

Thanks! I take it you mean sloping inwards, yes? If so then that is something I will consider how to do.
