    A few years back I made this little cutter from a Langton kit graciously supplied by Admiral Bligh. Instead of the brass mainsail, I opted to use a spanker from a scrapped 1st rate to keep the sails looking like SoG ships. I was never satisfied with the result so I decided to redo it while I was building a sistership. Sails scratch built from sheet styrene and rod.
    This cutter probably has its own Movement Deck?

    I used the C deck, but because it is primarily a fore and aft rig it had more generous sailing angles than the square riggers.

    You have done a cracking job with that mainsail Dobbs.

    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.
