Pirate ship Blue Plan?

[westlawn5554X]

Hi, it is been a while since I started a thread. Truthfully, I was offered a lotta free lumber and had this crazy idea of getting rid of it by building myself a pirate ship, it may take a while to sail it due to the length of the project but would be a splash to park it next to my neighbour.

What I need is really old experience forum member advice and any direction I can get of old pirate ship blue plan... for the moment and see if it is viable to liesurely built one.

Well I have almost all the wooden tools and machine ready and labour standby just the cause to built one... is it justify to pamper the idea?

Cheers

What I mean is the type of wooden pirate ship you see in the movee... not the modern full geared and dangerous type. I just need direction to the old construction plan or I still need to purchase it?

I didn't know that pirates had special ships built for them, I thought they just stole other people's ships and stuck the Jolly Roger on 'em.

Weekender/Vacationer hulls make good starting points. A bit of creative illusionary to go along with it and Voila!...Some swashbuckling is afoot!

Theres one here --just what your looking for --straight out of a pirate movie.

Its on the hard at Wave masters. I think it was given to the Prime minister of Malaysia. He doesnt take it out or anything. Im sure he doesnt even want it. Its been there for Oh,-- 5 years now.

About 45 foot,-- big bows and a very decorative stern with a cabin for the captain,-- just the job.

I may need a real full blown out-dated blue plan

[westlawn5554X]

would an asian boat considered as a pirate ship?... Must it have the western look of hollywood makeup or bobbywood is fine also?

[Raggi_Thor]

Since this will generate more book sales I think it's OK to post some pages :-)

Yeah what about the Bughis in Indonesia. The original boogey men.

A Bughi prow plies the waters near the island of Timor, Indonesia. These prows have been used for generations to trade goods throughout the islands. Traditionally they did not have a motor and they would sail them until the sank and then build another. The Bughis were a people that were renowned for their sailing and feared as pirates. Whenever you had a heavy load, you would always keep and eye out for the Bughi men. Today, these ships are still used, but are being replaced by modern cargo vessels.
