Thank you for the kind words. My building skills when I started amounted to a monkey with a razor blade...Perserverance, plus 1 ruined ship and 2 sunken ships finally paid off. Once you have the technical aspects down the building is just time and energy. Its the technical aspects of these that was so hard for me (balance, keel size and rudder, center of effort, sailability etc., etc.,). I asked a million questions from those who knew about square riggers (there are very few in the world).
