Thanks you all for your gracious comments, it is alot of fun to research the available information on a vessel as this, which was very well known in her day (1832-1845 or so) Thanks Mike, the chance to just make something comes up alot it's true, and can be fun, as also the colors I'm thinking about...Don Ha! Keep em coming..I know you enjoy sail, just repaired the mast on my old daysailer that broke at the base...Carl thank you kindly for stopping in on this, and those things are true, this vessel being the "lets see how far we can push this design" result having ship rig with three masts and about 30% larger than most of the topsail schooners of this style..probably a bit frightening to sail in..
to give example of info I've been digging up this is a cool article about colors that were available in the 1830's
