Well there's Surprise (Unity) already in, which is a good start :) And hoping this week to put up some pics and plans for some Breton (and Cornish) luggers which hopefully will grab the attention of one of the excellent ship modelers who pop in to these forums - we need something for the cutters in-game to chase down!

 

On a vaguely related note, anyone here know where this shot was taken, or indeed where Hermione is at the moment? I think it was taken from Le Cap de la Chèvre as she leaves the Bay of Douarnenez...pretty perfect picture for NA, although it seems whilst I've been away the first 'map' will no long be the English Channel...?

En cherchant bien, il doit y en avoir beaucoup d’autre. C'est un tout ces vidéos.

 

Juste pour finir le post, voici une citation du commandant de l’Hermione, c’est pour alimenter le débat sur la vitesse des bâtiments de l’époque.

 

« 105 miles parcourus à 4,4 nœuds de moyenne, au près serré dans 10 à 15 nœuds de vent ; des phases de 15 minutes avec la barre à zéro ; un cap tenu parfaitement : L'Hermione est un bateau hallucinant ! »

Thanks, nice vids !

 

I enjoyed those ones especially:

Back to Brest: http://youtu.be/yVcjlOAhf8Y?t=14s

Tacking explanations: http://youtu.be/gDnj1BbL-1c?t=1m54s

Music on the Hermione (with comments in English): http://youtu.be/OOCgYhsGhs0?t=13s

Return to Rochefort after the sea trials: http://youtu.be/GlIgCyqB5KQ?t=13s

 

Also Surcouf points out some realistic ship speeds with a quote from the Hermione's captain:

« 105 miles traveled at 4,4 knots average, close-hauled in a 10 to 15 knots wind ; 15 minute phases with the rudder amidships ; a perfectly stayed course : L'Hermione is a hallucinating ship ! »

I definitely want to see her when she comes to my neck of the woods.

 

That said, in the first video, that guy's clothes are ill-fitting and improper. I realize I'm being anal retentive, but I'm a reenactor of the period, so it should be expected. :)

 

E: At least he doesn't have a beard. That's my biggest pet peeve.
