Current model.

Kronshlot - ****** type
Guns - original 12 gunner modified to 20 cannon and 4 deck guns(swivels).
Water line length - Approximately 20.5 Meters.
Height from C/L (midship) 5 Meters (lowest point in profile)
Width from C/L (midships) 7.75 Meters (widest point)

This ship has 3 decks rear and 2 decks from amidships fore
(approximately)

She's a two mast.

Last year of Service 1737

Russian Origin.

Will have modifications to hull to allow addition of 8 cannon. Original 6lbers-8 lbers. I believe 4 6's and 8 8's.
Possibly increasing ball size somewhat.

Stern will also be modified with adornments not present on original. Bow will also be adorned.

Sail and rigging will stay to spec.

Originally the Kronshlot was a auxillary ship for coastal navigation and message services. She had a displacement of 350 tons. And had a crew of 80.

Length between stem and stern posts, m - 25.6
Width (without planking), m - 7.2
Hole depth, m - 3.6
Board height, m - 4.0
Keel height, m - 0.3
Average draught in full load, m - 3.0
Full displacement, t – 320
Number of guns, pcs - 12 8-8lbers 4-6 lbers (mod 8 guns)
Bruce number - 2.92
Crew, people - 80

****** type ships were fast and travelled well in storms. Very nice qualifying ship for pirates I think @ least since I'm modelling it that's what I have in mind although it is multi national in design.http://www.burningseas.com/forums/im...es/biggrin.gif


NOTE: I reread this thread and saw someone else was also building this ship. I wish I had noticed earlier but as it stands I'm finishing the model. (half done). Again my apologies for not noticing this soonerhttp://www.burningseas.com/forums/im...lies/smile.gif

Pinnace support yatch
This is a different concept. Small support craft used on the deck of my East Indiaman, except this version is sailable. Will submitt a stowed version and a sailable version. Good groundwork for a deployable support vessel (meaning should they ever let you launch your boats for cutting out missions, etc.


Hull is 30 ft long overall. Single mast/jib yatch rig. Using the plans from one chapman ship, and the sail plan from a similar vessel.

No armament, simply a tender vessel, but they aer small, fast and maneverable. Might be good for fishing should the include that someday. Might be a fun craft for yatch racing lol

EDIT 1/18/2006: Status -- Provisionally Approved, With Revisions. The Steering Committee would like to see a more appropriately-sized sail plan for this wonderful little boat. Info forthcoming.

Starting a new project for a fourth rate ship of the line "Priediestinacja"

# Type of craft = fourth rate ship of the line
# A link to or scan of your source plans = Plan 1 Plan 2
# Length along the waterline = 36 meters
# Breadth = 9.5 meters
# Draught = not know at this time
# Armament = 26 guns @ 16 pounds, 24 guns at 8 pounds, and 8 guns at 3 pounds
# One modification I will do is not to model the round molding detail at the second gun deck ports to allow a more generic ship to be used by all nations.
