    --Distance bow/jib overhang front of base in mm -- 18mm
    --Distance stern/spanker overhang rear of base in mm -- Flush
    --Distance widest yardarm (202 only) overhangs sides of base, if any, in mm -- None
    --Height from waterline to top of mainmast in mm -- 70mm - base adds another 7mm

    The others are still in transit. I'm hopeful they'll arrive any day now. I'll post the specs when I get them if nobody else beats me to it.

    For the numbers of us who would want the templates for Sails I guess it would not be worth Keith getting them machined up. Also they would be very hard to assess just how deep to make them as stacks of chits can be quite high for damage, and I would think difficult to move once dropped into a deep slot.
    Price would be a big issue as perspex is not cheap and for some games I for one would need at least 12 of them.

    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.

    Thanks, Alan. Looks like if I do one-size-for all that means needing a "float space" 95mm wide, 71mm high and 50mm deep--and even then what I'm envisioning depends on the user to ensure that the ship is securely pinned into its base.
