PeteB reacted to vossiewulf in MONTAÑES by Amalio
Short answer:
English 74s were the smallest of the three but most strongly built, intended to last many years in service and they did for the most part. They were also the slowest-sailing of the three.
French 74s were generally the largest of the three, and the best sailers, but lightly built and did not last long in service.
Spanish 74s were arguably the best, being larger than the usually too-small British 74s, almost as good sailers as the French, and were built reasonably strongly out of the best woods- teak and mahogany that were very resistant to rot and imparted great strength without the need for the heavy scantlings of British 74s.

Simply amazing. How are Spanish 74s different from French or English ones? I can't seem to find much information about them anywhere. I think I read somewhere that they are often of a better quality but in what ways? Your work is stunning, looking forward to seeing more of it.

PeteB got a reaction from aviaamator in La Jacinthe 1825 by aviaamator - 1:20 - schooner
Hi Aviamator
mate you have really made a fabulous job of those rudder gudgeon and pintle straps - each pair different and from what I can see you have somehow managed to get a uniform thickness for all of them - amazing given that you filed them out by hand - good to see you back - Great work. Cheers Pete
ps- the CNC carvings also turned out very nice - comparing either side shows how true the stern is - how about some photos of the CNC machine you built?

Thanks Rob for your good comment, sawdust and shavings I produce in quantity, but I immediately aspire to everything.

Perfect work, Albert. The only thing that would make it even better is higher resolution photos!

Eric,
Look for EdT's build log here on MSW also. The books are worth every penny, IMO.

Albert Adding to all the positive comments seems so inadequate, it is so inspiring to watch an artist making magic.

In the steps of the mast, I laid a ring like this, the mast is fixed exactly in the center!
