Nearly finished this first Bermuda sloop, a little bit of work to finish it off.
Got to add sails and rigging and a bit of paint touch up.

That's a beauty!
As to names, Le Bon Vaisseau Vénus perhaps?

I saw the title and was hopeful of a timely Xmas cocktail recipe - but this is almost as good.

"A l'eau, c'est l'heure!" (reputedly the motto of the French navy) gets my vote.

(I can't help feeling that the absence of a steering wheel is going to cause some issues.....)

There is a steering handle Baron, in the middle at the back.
