HML Brig Demand
The third vessel of the Brikkish Squadron to arrive in Port Brique ahead of
the Bastille day celebrations, the Demand cut a fine picture. She is now at
anchor in Port Brique harbour and stripped of canvas (Brikkish policy is to
remove sails from vessels at anchor in order to make theft difficult).
The sister ship to HM Brig Supply (the ship that founded Australia - and the only
brig in the first fleet) the Demand is dazzling in her black and white paint, and a handy
sailor as well.
The Demand is the first vessel I’ve built which is patterned closely after a real
vessel (compared to, say, the Misérable which is just a generic French 28), and
was a challenging build. I am pleased with the results.
