Hi Dan
I'm new to the site and was contemplating some re-work on my 1974-1979 build of a Billings Norske Love. I never fitted the parrells nor finished the carving on the stern. As I looked around this site I saw may examples of the square tops and was considering that change. R.C. Anderson admits he has no insight into what would be proper. That was no help. It wasn't until I read your partial log that I decided not to make the change. I'll simply say thank you.

I have two other builds. A 1966 "Cutty Sark" and a 1947 "Privateer" which was started in 1947 and finally finished in 1985
