Pic related is the only pic the guy posted at the tavern, should I buy it?

No, 96 was a terrible year for these things. I'd stick with a 98 or higher

>no keel kickers

It's rotted out below decks and takes on water I guarantee it. I'd pass. Cost to repair would negate any deal you're getting.

These things are a bitch to modify. I'd highly suggest jut finding one that's already modded to save yourself a shit ton of money, and time.

I dunno. Brig-sloops have their pros and cons, it just depends on how many guns and cannons you wanna carry. If this is one of the Cruziers, they can carry up to 18.

I just want maximum destructive power in case pirates decide to come my way. More cannons is ideal. Speed isn't as important because desu I'd rather annihilate attackers than pussy out running.

Ome more thing, since I've never captained a vessel in my life, how does the name "Neck Beard the Dread Pirate" sound? I can't actually grow a beard but it sounds so cool.

>GM fangirls have resorted to buying 500 year old boats
Who would've guessed

Can someone help me? I've never driven a ship with manual rudders before. I just can't get the hang of adjusting the sails and rudders at the same time and I keep having near-crashes.

can't compete

You stupid colonists STILL haven't learned this?

>still using wind power
>19th century
Get a grip, homies.

>and no I'm not willing to exchange is for a map to where you keep your gold coins

>flat bottom
>steamtragic
>black dildo stack
yeah I think I'll stick with a manual

>runs out of coal
>meme-engine breaks down

That fad can't compete with TRIED AND TESTED, retard

Lol ok captain ricedick, stay scurvy

Do it OP, those things have got some serious mod potential

It's as if you guys like beings plebeians

>Buying american
>ever

Kek buy british ship or gtfo

Hydrogen airships are the ships of the future. Plus it can easily do 40 knots.
This shit can run on whale oil, and that's cheap as fuck.

Only two previous Commodores. Mainly sea lane miles. Needs only a few barrels of pitch and your lust for the sea. Must sail as my wife and I need crowns to build a widows walk on our house for when I inevitably get lost at sea during a cliche storm. I do not need help sailing. Barter accepted. Grog or Jamaican rum only.

If he isn't posting pictures of the poop deck I guarantee there are problems with the scuttlebutt

>Steam powered
Lmao what a meme. Fucking normies will buy anything. Before long we'll probably have self sailing ships

>he thinks the world is round

>2017 - 205

Buying anything British.

Hey guys I'm thinking about buying a set of these for my rowboat. My old oars are getting worn out and apparently these will improve my top speed by 3 knots. I'm worried they might look a little too ricey though, what do you guys think?

does it have a horse pancreas sealed balsa core?

>year of our lord 18 hundred and __
>buying a wooden ship
ISHYGDDT

Have you guys seen the new prototype from the americans? Uses a metal skin instead of wood.

Makes the craft way heavier though so it probably wont be very fast or good on the river touge.

Nah the horse pancreas models are really expensive. I don't have that kind of gold laying around

>randomly watching episode of Fantom Works
>guy comes in asking for a replica '53 Timossi Hydroplane
I didn't even know this existed.
They used some 350 Chevy V8 instead of a 50s Ferrari F1 engine.

>Sails
>The automatics of sea vessels

It's like you hate being at sea or something.

If you can't row stick, you're a land lubbin' pleb.

I like hybrids 2bh. Nothing beats cruising to an English monastery and raping their men

oops I meant to say nuns

Is that your ship and crew or something you found on the scurvy seas?

>implying he can afford anything more than a rowboat

But can you hear nice sounds when sailing on that?

Ask him if he throws in some extras, like a full set of shackles and new whips.

>wheeltards
smdh

Nuns don't work at monasteries, bro.

Now this is a shitpost I can get behind

Anyone ever done a madg swap on one of these?
I got this '76 60' douglas fir spanish man'o'war mast laying around.
Do i need new mounts?

>implying anybody here has ever skippered a ship

You'll never get a legit answer from the shitposting barque riders around here.

I was at the pub with a few of my buddies and overheard this dude talking about a ship he owns and wants to sell.
told me its pretty much unsinkable, built in 1909 or something, should do about 24 knots max. without any mods, and has only 6500 nautical miles down (parctically NOTHING for a vessle that size, right?)
theres a catch though. he said it comes without any lifeboats and is anchored somewhere between queenstown and new york, so i would have to buy it unseen.

pic related, what do you think?

lololololl what a fag cant even hold 20+ guns

Go for it, but don't do the iceberg stancefaggotry, chassis won't cope

There's been a factory recall, something about the bulkheads not going all the way up to the upper deck.
You should get that fixed once you get it.

>1912
>doing the icetance

sounds reasonable
i tried haggling with him and he said he throws in a free diving suit

>Implying anything that big made of metal should float

Beware it's not actually a 4 banger, that last smokestack is a fake

Ahhh the British. Ricing out shitboxes since 1909.

>talking shit about the crew

no bully pls

>do I need new mounts?
Yea but it shouldn't be too bad. an afternoon and a barrel of grog should do it.

Have fun with your exploding boilers

I would stay away, those things are usually beat to shit by previous owners throwing parties on them and plowing into icebergs

Why are BEITC ships so superior, and why do they make the Dutch so angry?

ITT: nobody inspects the bilge
