Hi,I just bought Cutty Sark for future to build it,at the moment I'm building HMS Victory....your ship is awesome 👌

A very good model of the ship! However, I have to disagree with your observation that her name derives from the Portuguese language. As the Wikipedia article ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutty_Sark ) states "She was named after the short shirt of the fictional witch in Robert Burns' poem Tam o' Shanter, first published in 1791" of which the relevant lines are - "Tam tint his reason a' thegither, And roars out, "Weel done, Cutty-sark!"" "'Cutty Sark' is an archaic Scottish name for a short nightdress. 'Cutty' means short or stumpy, and 'sark' means nightdress or shirt."
