Here are my ship notes. I went back on the book but David does not give an explanation why he beefed up the sides at the top and bottom.

This was the design that David has in the book. It was not explained but my guess is that this was added to the top and bottom of the ladder where the most pressure exists. You can ask David next time you see him.

Not sure what you mean Alan, the step actually goes in three more beams that are not yet installed. The only thing behind the step are some blocks on the deck and the bulkhead.

John Longstaff found a much better match. The key is the shape of the bow.

I found this on earlier post on the forum.Checking on Ai it came up with the same reasoning. So i will stick with the red. “ The following is more likely the reason. Deck furniture, bulwarks, etc, were red ochre. This was discussed in an earlier post here at MSW in 2021 and it was mentioned that this was for protection from the weather and ochre (earth) colors were inexpensive. In addition, after long sea voyages and during repairs it was also refreshed. The idea that it would hide blood was coincidental, not the reason it was most often red. There are a number of contemporary models where much of the inboard works were painted black. I have no idea if this was original or done at some later time. The Navy Board stated 18 July 1715 that painting (presumably outboard and inboard) was "not to refresh oftener than once a year or two and the inboard works that are from the weather." There is no mention of a particular color or hiding blood. The actual usefulness in protecting the wood from rot and the cost would probably be a bigger concern to the navy than the mental state of the sailors in the age of sail. If you are next to a man that has had some part of his body ripped off, I doubt hiding the blood on a bulwark would make it any easier to avoid fear, panic or the onset PTSD.

I was unhappy with the colour difference between the plywood and the mahogany so thought I would go back to the safe colour choice. Still not happy with the fit.
