Oh, one thing I did add to the design was a 20' mast and a 400 sf square rig sail for "emergency use" should the steam engine fail or run out of fuel. Sadly, almost as fast under sail as it is under steam. A 10' mast and 100 sf sail is probably more appropriate for emergency propulsion. -- A generous and sadistic GM, Brandon Cope http://www.geocities.com/copeab "It has fallen upon me, now and again in my sojurns through the world, to ease various evil men of their lives.
