lol - i fail to remember who you are referring too
-
i understand that, but unable to understand, or read why it is an uncovered deck, im not suggesting that a couple of cabins were built in that area and the ships boats stowed on top of that, but it would have given a better opportunity for stowage, im sure i will find an answer one day
-
Dafi me again why is the whole area open - the skids are there to supports the ships boats, but why is it not all enclosed in the first place
-
how does the possibility of the spare spars (including stun booms) fitting on the channels
-
sorry i missed the promotion
-
lol - i looked at them this morning as i had not progressed any more on that - and it has gone, miles to big, and out of scale
