Very nice; I especially like the sails and how they attach to the mast. I'm surprised however that they are held in place only with the stud-hole of a minifig neck-bracket. This little boat looks much better than the official version from LEGO. Good job!

Please submit this to lego, so that they know we want more realistic boats!!! How on earth is this boat going to move. Two little oars? Great job on modifying a horrible set.

Thanks for the comments, everyone! Just a note for all you bley-haters out there, I used both brown and redbrown in this MOC. It doesn't look so bad, no does it? :wink:

You did a pretty good job on making the set a realistic one. I think the set itself is pretty nice; but you took the design one step further. I also like the brick built sails.

P.S: The two tones of brown and grey don't look bad at all;I do the samething in my MOCs.

Keep up the good work Nathan,

It's a horrible color combination! It burns my eyes! The goggles, they do nothing! Everyone should really should not vote for this MOC, and instead vote for mine!

:)

Good build, I like it. Not a lot different, but certainly much more realistic.

Sure, rub it in. :lol: It does look good, though. I like the brick-built sails and your prow redesign.

Very nice, the sails are my faviourite part! This would make a great light raiding vessel!

Thanks for sharing and God Bless,

Nathan
