Omega1234 Posted June 21, 2016 Share #488 Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Hi Willie I love watching the vids! She's alive! A couple of quick questions - Is there an issue with water potentially ingressing the hull due to it's low freeboard? Also, how do you think she'll perform in choppy waters? Would the bow rise and fall out of the water as she hits the waves, do you think? No problem, either way. I'm just curious because I've really got no idea how the real ships performed in rough seas.

bensid54 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share #489 Posted June 21, 2016 Thank you Steven it is handy. Patrick, water ingress is not a problem as far as free board goes, I do get very little water inboard unless I flail the oars too much. I don't think it will handle well in choppy waters or wind because even the real thing would have trouble with that stuff. mtaylor and Omega1234 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louie da fly Posted June 26, 2016 Share #491 Posted June 26, 2016 It's very true. Galleys (full size) had very low freeboard and couldn't cope with waves or swell more than about a metre/yard. History is full of sccoumts of entire fleets of galleys being sunk by unexpected Mediterranean storms. Yet galleys dominated the Mefiterranean for maybe 2000 years.
