WOW! Completely non-period and completely awesome! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Nice <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

looks NEAT. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> though maybe not very much like the real one. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> i'll need some pictures for better judgement, but as far as i can see, it's got several faults. however, as a model itself, it's great. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

ok, it's not as bad as i first said. it's pretty accurate, though maybe in need of a few little tweaks. but i don't think that the rigging can be made perfectly similar. the sails in-game just don't work that way.
 
It's wonderfull ship, really. I have no idea how her captain would handle her in XVII century, as "Cutty Sark" had total of 0 cannons, but the ship looks great.

It would give untypical task for a player: you have fast, unarmed ship with hold full of tea and are chased by pirates - try to deliver all of your cargo againt the odds!

well, there's always the squash/board tactic. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> who needs cannons?
 
ah yes, the squash tactic...good for littler ships...but if you can up against the dutchamn or something...yah...anyways yes that is a very awesome design!
 
you'd leave the dutchman trailing in your wake. at absolutely perfect conditions, a clipper could do 18 knots. and as i said, there's always the option to board. however, clippers had relatively small crew for their size. boarding would be tough. i think the ship should have low minimum crew, but pretty high maximum crew, because of the room.

by the way, shouldn't the cutty sark have 4 jibs instead of 3?
