By the way, I did not show what the new kit does on the plastic conductor (;C) of our invention. We have protected this our invention with a patent. This allows you to assemble the hull very easily, quickly and very-very accurately! And you get the most accurate contours of hull.

Let's continue, friends. While there is an opportunity (before the mast), we decided to demonstrate to you how the carronade could be moved between the platforms on the launch. 💡By the way, a very interesting option to show on the model, if without a mast and sails.

In February 2020, we started talking about the MK 0304 "42ft launch rigged Yawl with a 24-pound carronade (1841)". Scale1/48. In February 2020, we started talking about the MK 0305 "22-oars two 24pd-gun gunboat of the Baltic fleet,1848" Scale1/72. We have a lot of projects almost ready, but not put into production. The delay in the release of new kits was due to the fact that we were engaged in patenting and protecting intellectual property rights for our developments. It took almost two years. Now we are engaged in the MK0304 project in wood.

Thank you, James. I won't guess, but in two weeks the first one will be ready for a photo on a box. Then we will make the changes that we identified during the test build and we will assemble another model - the control assembly.

Will it be correct if I write as "42ft launch rigged gaff ketch" or "42ft launch rigged yawl"?
-
Gentlemen, I wish you all the best. Help clarify the correct term - what is the name of this type of rig of a launch in the photos I have given? In Russian documents of the mid-19th century it was written that "rigged as the Plymouth`s boat". But this name rather has a local meaning for Russia. This question is important in order to understand what name in English to indicate on the box of the new kit of "MasterKorabel".

ca. 1780 boat on the topmasts

Fragment of an Austrian merchant ship at the end of the 18th century "Launch of Victoria in Le Havre in 1782, France, 18th Century" The boats were nested. http://westernworld.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/479656817.jpg

But returning to the question raised. This drawing from 1759 perfectly shows two boats. One is on the deck (only fragments are visible) and the second boat from above is located on the topmasts. It is very well shown how exactly the boat is attached. Deutsch_ Frederik den Femtes Atlas Segelplan, Seitenansicht Fregatte Sjöridderen https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Soeridderen.jpg

Good afternoon. I don't remember the exact name of this file, but I found it in a Swedish museum. https://digitaltmuseum.se/owners/S-SMM-SM Eugen "Master Korabel"

The "snow-brig". 18 century. The boats were nested. Eugen "Master Korabel"

Good afternoon, colleagues! I think that the boat was put inside another boat when everything was cleaned inside. Here is an example.. but a different age https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-86757 It remains to find proof that this was done in the 18th century.

Hello, Allan! This source is "Seamanship in the Age of Sail An Account of the Shiphandling of the Sailing Man-Of-War, 1600-1860" by John Harland As far as I know, it was a common practice when one boat was placed in another. I have seen drawings in the archive and met a description in the literature. I think the models in NMM showed only one boat on top of two topmast for simplification. There was always a lot of reserve spars on the ship (topmasts, topgallant masts, yards, topsail yards). And smaller boats (cutter and yawls) would also be put on them as Marquardt showed according to Captain Cook's description. The source is "Anatomy of the Ship: Captain Cook's ENDEAVOUR" by Karl Heinz Marquardt. But they didn't show so much on the models. I think so. I continue to look for a reliable source from the 18th century, where we can read about this in detail. Eugen, "Master Korabel"

Good afternoon, dear colleagues. There are many models in NMM, which show that the boat stands on the topmaps and is secured with ropes. Several books have brief information on this, which is based on the same models from the museum, I think so. Interested in more detailed information on how the boat was attached to the topmaps in the 18th century? Is there a book of the 18th century (original source) about this method? Thanks!

We are trying to speed up the process, despite the quarantine in the country.
