Welcome Redmax from Philadelphia PA. I hope you connect with all the great resources on this site. Do you live in England? British naval history is a big topic for many here on SoS. Would love to see a build log of your Occre Polaris, she's beautiful ship.

Looks like Occre is going the way of Artesania Latina for its entry-priced models. They are offering instructions through YouTube videos, and will most likely include few or no design drawings. When I built the Esmeralda level 1 build from Artesania Latina this year she did not come with any drawings, no rigging plan at all. Just the YouTube videos and a CD-ROM. I did an extensive SoS build log, so my troubles were well documented. I must say they probably saved alot on printing the design drawings, but the least Artesania Latina could have done would be to make the drawings available online. Good luck!

Hi sorry for the late reply I'm a full time carer so time is limited. As for naval history my dad was in the Fleet Air Arm and served on HMS Eagle and the Ark Royal working on the Bucaneer flight. I am progressing slowly with the Polaris struggling with the second planking at the moment If I gat time I'll post some pics. Cheers Mark
