I think, it would be better if the oars are longer in the water. Work with an oval movement rather than the circular I believe you have implemented now.

Still, I like your idea a lot, and would like to see more ancient Roman ships coming out of your hands!

Best greetings,

Hi Sven,

I was filming this boat, I am not the builder.

Best regards

I could almost hear them yelling RAMMING SPEED! on that roman galley.

Oh, I see. Okay.  :-)

Well, what to say? The idea is great. But there are several grand errors:

1.

Those ships you saw in the Ben Hur movie lack all scientifically correct construction attributes. If you want, you can contact me at jamaica_sven [at] yahoo [dot] com, and I can give you some correct reconstructional sketches. I do those things since 20 years.
