Dude, that is so stupid! The mast is too far back. Also the hull, errr I mean body tube should be silver not brown.....geesh.

What you need to do is stick an Estes rocket engine in the stern and stick it in the water

Good Idea, I'll do that!

I'm thinking about drilling a hole in the table, running a line from my air compressor and blasting air up into that sail and see how high it will go. What do you think?

I don't know squat about boats.

But I'm currently reading, "Two Years Before the Mast".

Is the model ship you built from that era? ....

I believe it's a little later, built in 1869 while TYBTM was in 1835 or so. I read that book, extremely interesting and well written.

It's a model of the "Cutty Sark". If you look at my picture you can see I glued the name plate on upside down!

Yes.

'Two Years Before The Mast', published in 1840, takes place between 1834 and 1836. It is the account of the author's two year voyage as an ordinary seaman on a merchant vessel between Boston and California (at that time part of Mexico).

'Before the Mast' refers to the quarters of the ordinary seamen on the ship, located in the forecastle of the ship. He wrote about the hard life of an ordinary seaman and the wide disparity in classes between seamen and their officers.

It would be better if it was a frog rocket.
