In 1978 she didn't have one, they opened while most of the rigging was incomplete, the rest was gradually added I believe sometime between then and the 1990's

Thanks Bombhead, it does make a nice change from super-battleships and container ships :)

Whilst I tidy up the last of the Polly drawings, I'll chuck up a preview of the next on and I'll think you'll be able to see a shortcoming of her's, especially seeing she carried 5 jibs/fore staysails, something even the Preuben didn't do

I have never had problem with it. Only when dropbox goes in some sort of sleep mode, where it act as an normal map on the computer... but that might be an server problem that occur at dropbox. But dropbox is fast at fixing the problem at least, when it do happens. but you know that you can use dropbox in the same way as other img host, by just go to dropbox.com and log in there and upload you'r stuff.

had that problem with my laptop before... might be the firewall that is funny (the dropbox are folder is link directly to the dropbox server...), or the same Anti Virus software that trying to be clever...

Doesn't hurt to mail them and ask if they have any idea "why?"
