Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!
There are lots of knowledgeable people on the Ship Forum that are ready, willing, and able to help you with any questions or problems that you might have. I build some sailing ships too, as you can see by my avatar. But usually, I build whatever strikes my fancy at the time and have been doing that for 67 of my 73 years. So, sit back, have a sip or two of your favorite beverage 
, 
, 
, 
, and build away.
