    Looks really good! I really must do some work on Minerva... Main stuff that needs doing for sea trials is connecting the sail winch servos to the spars so I can control the sails. Oh, and sheeting the hull. :)

    Ohh man, you have no idea how much I'm itching to start on my USS Constitution. But work has me running ragged right now, I barely have time to think. So I'll just keep slowly planking my little tabletop clipper ship model, and dreaming of the day...

    PS: Tugboat, I tried out your exam technique a few days ago. Cleared out the cubicle in seconds, and we ended up in one of the simulators where I had a very successful checkout. Thanks!
