Two or Three Masted Ship

Chocks Away
I have found a very small image in CAD format ,that I will modify in Tinkercad or FreeCAD for my next project.
Okay the starting point will be a 3D printed hull , that's just stage one.
I haven't a clue of how long I should make it , and the of what type of vessel I will be building .
At my age (the years are ticking by) I'm not really paranoid about becoming an Alzheimer’s Disease victim , but I must keep the little grey cells ticking over, that is why I'm starting this in Uncharted Waters Project for my wellbeing Col

    Hi Col!

    Here are two kits I have that might be an inspiration. These are retouched box photos, but I can do some hi-res scans for you if they could be of some assistance.
    The 16" Sphinx is an old Entex kit and the Otaki Long Beach is a larger at about 22 inches. I screwed up the perspective on the Sphinx a bit while trying to correct the perspective, but the general idea is there. I'll keep looking around...I might have something else that could be helpful.

Forward thinking

in the way of a question

would 80 cms or just a tad under be a good size for a sailboat ? Col
