Seeing this design evolve for this pair of vessels is certainly interesting to me, Sporticus.
I am slowly developing an interest in ACW vessels and equipment, though I have to confess that paddle-wheel vessels will forever seem odd and inefficient to me. Something about the aesthetics of bashing water as a propulsion system seems so bizarre as compared to making use of the water via a propeller.
That aside though; watching this design process, as I have with some of Corey and Shawn's designs, is sparking an interest in designing ships.
And I am enjoying seeing this work of yours.
Kind and Respectful Regards Sporticus my friend, Uyraell.
