I'd look into the funnel design of the former HMY Britannia...just sayin'.... |

Looking better. Maybe make the masts thinner, the height looks ok, but they seem very chunky masts. |

I was looking at the Christina O as a main inspiration (which is where I got the idea for the funnel). Christina O was converted from the HMCS Stormont in 1954 (which is about the time this yacht would be built), so I don't think that the funnel is too 'modern.' I can either do the funnel as original: ![[ img ]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/bxlk22nbmcnfafe/Salidan%20Royal%20Yacht2.png?dl=0) Or a straighter funnel: ![[ img ]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/t1z9b2m7az9nfgs/Salidan%20Royal%20Yacht2ex.png?dl=0) I've also narrowed the base of the masts by one pixel on the first and two pixels on the second. |

My preferred choice would be the funnel from A with the masts from B. |

Personally I would go foe drawing B, and may be narrow the radars mast base by one or two pixels |

I'd probably go for A with a taller tapering mast. |

Alright, I have done some more work on the yacht. Several things: - I have decided to go with the funnel A, the streamlined one. First, I feel it fits the streamlined look I'm going for. Second, apdsmith mentioned a good point to me, saying that the 1950s was all about making things sleek and futuristic. -I have gone with the second mast and I agree that it looks better. -I have slimmed the mast supporting the electronics. I did not make it taller, as I felt it would detract from the overall look. ![[ img ]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/rd0qlarh4yi8y0p/Salidan%20Royal%20Yacht3.png?dl=0) She's almost ready to take the King on vacation, but I still have a few details to add, such as a smaller tender between the bridge and the funnel, and the placement of the lifeboats and gangway (although I might place that on the other side to make it easier on me  ). Thank y'all for all of your comments! |

I think I've got her pretty much completed. I decided to name her Swordfish (I think it's an appropriate name  ).![[ img ]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/55moxu99m4se1og/KoS_HSMY_Swordfish.png?dl=0) I have also added the Swordfish to the first page. More to come! |

I would not mind one of those at my private mooring. First I need the private mooring!
