Katoom Posted June 13, 2019 #131 Posted June 13, 2019 OK, I have a confession. I have been following this build for some time and while I knew that it was a xebec I knew little else. The build is obviously terrific but is it based on a real ship? Are the plans Daniel's? etc... Just in case there is someone else like me following, I finally answered some of my own questions although I invite corrections. This build is of the (very famous although unknown to me!!) French xebec Le Requin and there is a contemporary model in the French maritime museum. The plans appear to be those from the Ancre monograph of Le Requin by Jean Boudriot & Hubert Berti available from Ancre's Le Requin web page where there is also a nice brochure for download. I am sure that a search will turn up much on this ship but I found a concise summary on Michael Czytko Web site along with links and photos. A very interesting ship and Daniel's build promises to be a very special one. yvesvidal and mtaylor 2 Quote Kevin My Introduction
