Well!

 I expected a lot of detail. Oars? Now this puts a new twist on " Sneaking up on the enemy" Can you imagine how much force?( i/e crew it took to make them work?). That ship was probably about 210 tons berthen and not the most seaworthy at rowing speeds. Look at all the ship that can act as a sail in a crosswind above the waterline!

Santa,

If you are putting in ratlines, you should do so before installing the yards and running rigging.  It will be very difficult to get to the shrouds afterwards.

If you are going sans ratlines, then never mind.

I don't know what "sans ratlines" are, but as you know --I have ben dueing this for some time.  And I add the toe ropes last because I need to reach "through" the back stays to tie off rigging.
