Her tumble-home hull was even more pronounces than Duperre&#8217;s and though Redoubtable is Duperre&#8217;s predecessor, aspects of her appear more modern, at least to my eyes. In the pictures above her Blender work is easily over 90% complete but I&#8217;ve still got a bit of work before she&#8217;s done. Even so, it&#8217;s only taken me a little over a month to get this far. So I&#8217;m definitely getting faster! (Or at least able to reuse more).
