maturin Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 The website and media coverage of Hermione is as atrocious as the ship is a gobsmackingly tremendous triumph. Is she floating? Sailing? WHAT??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperion74 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I had heard that they were building Hermione and now I see videos. Thankee for bringing it up. I have read that the French built fantastic ships. Some French designs in game would be welcome, especially frigates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggywrinkle Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 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...?

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 ! » 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberouge Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 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 ! » Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theuerdank Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Great project, absolutely. Curious also a french project is to build/recreate a medieval castle with contemporary materials. Also a huge intention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Danforth Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Probably going to be one of the runner ups in the voting. By the way did you know our forum member Surcouf works on this ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maturin Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Surcouf can you share any details of her sea trials? How does she handle on various point of sail and maneuvers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hood Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I do love what has happened with this ship. I am excited with the construction of the Delft (56) being built currently in Rotterdam although not much news has come from her. I believe that she is still the keel and ribs at the moment.

Surcouf Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 just a correction. I am not a sailor on Hermione. but only on the boat. but i have a friend who has sailed 15 days during the sea trials.
