I have recently joined myself, and since I am very interested in French warships of the 64 to 74 gun variety. I was amazed, and delighted when I found this thread. Your talent for cad is impressive to say the least. I look forward to your updates, and progress!

Hallo and welcome here on board of our forum,
I am by myself a big fan of the french vaisseaux (ships) - therefore I made already some reviews of the ancre publications.
Do you have the 74-gunship books written by Jean Boudriot?

Thanks for the welcome, and no I don't have any of those volumes. To be perfectly honest I thought these books were out of publication. Are they still available?

The english version was some years not available any more, but now reprinted and completely available - really worth the money

I went to that site, and found a book I thought I'd really like to have. VAISSEAUX (les) de 50 et 64 canons, but unfortunately it is only available in French. That books seems to focus on the period of years I am interested in(1650-1723)
