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.
What to call the ship
chasseur de tempête -storm chaser
coureur de tempête -Storm runner
perle noire- black pearl
commerçant de lune -Moon trader
commerçant de l'aube -dawn trader
étoile du nord -star of the north
navire des rois- kings ship
la beauté des rois -Kings beauty
Willz.

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.
