zackiedawg Posted December 12, 2013 #27 Share Posted December 12, 2013 She's an amazing ship-builder; sure wouldn't want to up against her in a contest onboard! We went up against her Halraiserdam in 2009 - and pulled the upset and won! Actually, everyone was in awe of her creation - awesome build and HUGE too - that one needed a handcart and 2-3 people to get it in the pool...no question it was a much more elaborate and amazing build than anyone else's ship. We had women's thongs on our pirate ship (Piratedam), cannons, and lots of high rigging and sails, and we all said 'Arrrr' a lot...so I think that's how we eeked it out. ;) After the contest we were challenged by Cruisinetta's team to put our boats in the pool for a seaworthiness test - both floated pretty well, but we didn't have enough keel and fell over in the waves - so she won the float test! And clearly the detail and construction/design goes heavily in her favor. Excellent work, and the smaller scale for this one is great - more manageable for the steward and still captures all the details. Keep on building those!

sail7seas Posted December 12, 2013 #28 Share Posted December 12, 2013 She seems to have a wonderful time building her models and that's outstanding. Cruising is all about having fun 'your way'. Congratulations, Cruisinetta, on another beautiful ship!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisinetta Posted December 13, 2013 #29 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I will be handing off the key to ship tomorrow. His name is Ichsan. He gave me permission to use his name. Pic tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinner2 Posted December 14, 2013 Author #32 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Here's a photo of Cabin Steward Ichsan with the ship and the key! (Wish we had Cruisinetta in the photo; maybe later?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
