Please watch this

There are more examples 

Hello Michael 

To control a sailing boat like that  ,you will need a 4 ...6 chanel radio unit 

One control is for the main sail 

One control to the gibs ,or two independent control for the gibs 

One control to the ruder 

One control for the auxiliary motor with a electronic speed control ( Reverse forward )

You can made the control with a radio of two  controls , one for all the sails and the other for the ruder 

But is a great effort for the sail winch

You have to control the sails a HITECH  drum servo ,also a Graupner regatta ( more expensive)

To the ruder you need a 3003 FUTABA servo is good !

Well ! Keep your fantastic work 

I shall post the squemas of the sail control with the servos 

There is no brass or copper around the mast 

Hello Michael 

here´s a detailed foto of the jaws ,we can see exactly the leather

 

By the way ;are you registed in facebook ? I ´ve many fotos to share 

 

Best regards

Hello Michael 

You´re right about this detail

http://modelshipworld.com/uploads/monthly_07_2013/post-202-0-07778200-1375238654_thumb.jpg

But sometimes there is  a coper or brass  even leather plate around de mast where the gaff usualy works 

Best regards and keep working so nicely way

Hello michael mott

Your way to build models like the  old cutters is very motivating to me ,thank you showing your work 

Carlos

I´m also a great  Pilot Cutters lover do you know ??? 

Hello Michael Mott

I know there are some plans we can buy , they aren´t cheep but they are good plans ; but today I think you don´t need those plans ,because you already have a hull

you can watch this site and look for the plans

There are many places to give an idea and to give you some inspiration

Hello Michael Mot 

In the begining of your work you write that you based on the British  Smack Plans ,I noticed that you make several transformations in the hull.

The hull is more deep ,also de queel is very long ,this modifications are made to have a better sail ?
