New Sailing Ship Adventure

Have you ever wanted to travel around the world, sailing away on your own ship on the turquoise waters amongst the dolphins? With this little sailing boat model you could do all that and enjoy a beautiful sunset at sea.

That's a modification on my previous entry -- Sailing Ship Adventure -- with plate-built sails instead of bricks. It contains 226 parts: 192 for the boat (sails and mast: 45; cabin: 24; frame: 123) + added features: Dolphins: 9; Palm tree: 16; Minifigures: 8; seagull: 1.

The hull is buildable, made of slopes and curved plates joined at their extremeties; this allowed to maximize inner space, add a wooden floor and a sturdy support for the mast. The cabin can be removed to show the inner rest space. Sails are plates and can still rotate, just make sure you untie the ropes first! An anchor and a few gold elements completes the ship.

For minifigures I imagined a romantic pair. That sailor was an immediate participant; as soon as he heard a ship was made, he jumped on board!
