Frevoli requested an oceangoing pirate type galley for his Caption Contest 102 victory, and I’ve just posted it to Companion-Vehicles. I made the sails color1, so you can Mask an insignia or whatever to them, creating the effect of a pattern just on the sails without going onto the wood part. The light gray in the preview is a 30% black screen so it will look more like those parts are in shadow. Enjoy!

Arrrrrgh! 🙂
@Dblade: Do you think this ship is ‘awexome’?
Oooh, I like this! Thanks Frevoli and Jeff.
Are we sure that’s called a “galley”? I’d buy “galleon” but I’m pretty sure the mess hall of a ship is called its galley. I only know because I was in the Navy for 6 years.
You’re probably right, Blazer. Galleon it is!
Both galley and galleon are types of ships.

Thanks Jake. I think the one depicted is still a galleon, since it has the big sails and no oars, but it’s good to know I wasn’t TOTALLY wrong in using the word Galley at first.
Galley-OOPS!!! 😉
