Mini-Brig Battle Westport Pirate Daze 2008 Part 2

The mini-brigs return to Westport for three days of battle action. In part 2 of this video, the action heats up as pirate ships take on merchant vessels. Watch as the crews of the Mini-Pearl, Mini-Sceptre, Nibblet, Adventure, Liberte, and Derek's Pirateship duke it out in their mini-brigs for rule of the high seas. Even Will Turner and Captain Jack Sparrow make a special appearance.

hi there- cool little ships - is there any way i could get a set of plans or dimensions to build one of these for my kids they love the video as well

[bbprivateer]

Hello, the plans were available on our website, but I have had to redesign the website - and took the plans offline, currently we have managed to re-do about 15 of the plan pages (there are about 50 pages or so) to building the little brig, and about 30-40 plansheets... I had hoped to have them up by Jan 1st/2012.. but it looks more mid-summer.

It will be made available via paypal donation...

Do you have any of sundays stuff? Like when "Will" got the bucket of marina water over his head?

[bbprivateer]

No sorry, the folks filiming the battle had to leave before the water fight.

BTW, can you get WILL to email me... I want to see if we can hook up before this years upcoming Scupper.

What are those? really? My best guess is that they may be bass boats running on trolling motors.

[bbprivateer]

there are two types of boats. All the boats are real sailboats, and can be sailed. They have daggerboards.. so they are more than bassboats. The first design (the smaller) is a highly modified D4 -- Complete with all working sails. The 2nd type (the larger) was designed by WJ Tedder, -- a "Westport" class mini-brig. It should be noted that the electric motors provide aux power only, the westport boats can sail fairly well on their own accord.

wonderful news as i ave failed at an asteticly pleasing version of the d4 and another of10ft length and they just looked distorted -will keep an eye out for the plan sets when they become available -cheers
