Hi

At several occations during the Finnish war 1808 the swedish troops was supported by the Swedish Archipelago fleet so I thought I should build me a ship to support my infantry troops.

I have decided to build me the smalest ship in the Archipelago fleet a A gun yawl (kanonjolle) it´s armament consisted of single 18- to 24-pound gun at stern. The heavy gun and the small size of the vessel required that the design have a distinct tail for stability.

You can read a bit more and see more WIP pictures at my blog.
