All of my knowledge of ship design comes from internet videos and very tiny amounts of research as to how it applies to rc boat designs, so I feel like I’m 100% qualified to say:
I hate how this looks. Either redesign the leading and trailing sails, or take out two of the masts and shorten the ship.
You could show me breakdowns and scientific analysis proving it’s 9,001% better in every way, and I still won’t like it based solely off its looks.
Give me the Amerigo Vespucci any day.
Well shit, fuck me sideways for sharing an opinion of looks in a joking manner, this place is just as fucking bad as reddit. Peace out I guess
Hopefully someone saltier than I can reply, but I’m pretty sure this is a windjammer, which was a derogatory name. I believe steel construction - particularly of masts and lines, like stays - allowed ships to be much longer, and taller … and they were widely regarded as unaesthetic.
Lmao, you show up with an extremely negative comment and then get surprised when your negativity gets responded to with negativity. Yep, must be reddit and lemmys fault!
