I hope you'll forgive a newcomer for adding a comment however if you are going to make the sails appear to be full you need also to brace the yards over to larboard or starboard in order to prevent the foresails from being becalmed. This would show the model on a larboard or starboard tack which would look very impressive. Having said that your model is superb.
