mtaylor Posted October 11, 2015 #363 Posted October 11, 2015 Druxey, The plans I've seen for the French frigates all have the bottom of the rudder to the bottom of the keel. The models of Le Fleuron that I've seen also show this. Might another one of the "minor/major" difference between French and English practice. druxey 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
druxey Posted October 11, 2015 #364 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks, Mark. All my reference books are packed for moving, so I couldn't check. French ships must have lost a lot of rudders!
