I think you meant to say "Prost" (German). *Proost* is the sound you make when you fart... unless you are Dutch.

Are you saying that perhaps because of the way it is pronounced? Besides, Isn't Stephan Dutch? His flag is from The Netherlands. Search "Dutch drinking toasts" and you find many, many things similar to this:

The most common Dutch drinking toast is "Proost!" (pronounced "prohst"), which you say while clinking glasses and making eye contact. Another option, particularly for wine, is the French-derived "Santé!". A more formal Dutch phrase, "Op je gezondheid!" (to your health!), can also be used.

Thanks for the likes and copliments again. This update took me a few days to make. Especially the reef tackle took some time to make. The Mizzen topsail halyard I made today. The violinblock is handmade on the same way I make ornaments.

The reeftackle 2x:

When you zoom in you see the glue. The rope is 0,2 mm. With bare eyes not visible, but I have to experiment with other glue that don't have this effect on small parts. On bigger rope I can hide this.

The Halyard of the mizzen topsail:

The rope is 0,61 mm. It should be 0,53 mm. I can live with that.

Thanks for the visit.
