Looks great!

Of course it could have gone in the "Official, unofficial screenshots" thread.

Good one, ParaB!

Very Cool!!!

Isn't that a finnish Vessiko rather than a type 2?

Thanks guys, glad you like the pic. It's an older one, found it while cleaning up my HD. And I somehow totally missed the giant "official screenshot thread", my bad. Just browsed through it, there are some amazing pics in there. I'll post the next ones in the correct thread.

Hum hum...

The Vesikko was built by the Germans in 1934 as CV-707. She was the prototype for the Type IIA and is the only surviving Type II in the world...

I know.

But although there are only minor differences between a Vessiko and a Type II (the type II had a smaller sail, for example) , they are still different types, from a nit-pickery point of view.

@ Seth

That is a nice photo, isn't it?

I wonder if Sir Big Jugs has anymore?

For those that are interested...

On a side note, wasn't one of Sir Big Jugs previous names CV-707?
