Great technical analysis Peter sounds as if you may be promoted to the ships chief engineer.

Thanks for this, Daniel. I feel honored.
Perhaps more the theoretical & visual foundation of previously unknown situations, objects or actions.
Hopefully, this will soon converge with practical application. I'm already looking forward to my first sailing voyage with the Balder.
Regards, Peter

Good morning Peter. Your attention to all the tiny details to achieve 100% is always admired. Technically brilliant. Good to see the new "deck hand"" hard at work scrubbing those decks. ;) . Cheers Grant

Happy birthday, dear Peter. May the new year be one that is filled with good health, blessings and plenty of exquisite modeling!
 
Happy Birthday, Peter! Birthday-Cake

Wishing you a fantastic day, my friend! May your build lines stay fair, your planks behave, and your coffee always be within reach. Just remember, today you are officially allowed to ignore all advice, reject all corrections, and declare your version the historically accurate one. It’s your special day, after all! Have a great one, and may the coming year bring you steady hands, sharp tools, and many satisfying moments at the workbench.

Skål, my friend! :)
