Obviously as Seen on photo AS Well, fcastle front was panelled. Pretty much white ať later stages byť who knows if not natural asi Well ať some tímes. So I followed capitans cabin decor to Keepi IT uniform. Sony be visible under ladders anyway..m forecastle Still without machinery but pretty much almost complete ať this stage...underneath inside still a bit messy .. One thing, those commercial ladders annoy me. I am thinking od making curvier ones to correspond the éra. If im Up to that. Fór aesthetic sake IT woud look much nicer i Guess. V.

Attention was paid to play planks tightly and secure catheads. plenty of work to do AS continues ... APolohy to purists fór any inacuracy. juh We still dont know what fcastle looked like 🤪. Ať least McKay IS nie pretty satisfied with Bright of fcastle. good day everyone. any comment or critical point appreciqted AS always. next - ornamentation of Down front sides of fcastle Close Up showing complexity of lines of timbers and new height and connection of fcastle ...

Todays rain pushed me to unwrap glory, and what a lovely memories of making her. I was surprised by amount of minute works i was able to do last winter preparing rigging. Almost backed Up if able to continue again. But after i took a knife .. I Jumper into remaking fcastle, and I did quite a preparation structural work... Flooring and catheads holes still missing but hell...only now i am completely satisfied with her appearance AS whole and satisfied with her hull finally ! AS IT changed her look quite drastically and prssively so. I was complaining and pointing out the fcastle IS ridiculously low if followed her main line, event before beautiful photo of fcastle appeared. Higher ceiling of it gave All bow Area substantial bigger lovely appearance and visibility, ...and place below fór work.... I cant wait to put floor and lovely cornering pieces with rounded point in her. Here are few photos ..lokks like im in track to continue Thanks you fór comments... V. Castle Before - unreally low for men to wall in...

Everyone, I také reaponsibility fór such stupid mistake placing forecastle ceiling just along mainrail AS its natural continuation. Even Crothers book shows typical McKays design that IT was on the very top. Only splash rail sheltered and raised above... We were fare overhyped by outboard design and eagerly rushing to build and see the thing itself that noone pointed IT out At that tíme. IT was clearly abundant that person would have problém to fit under such narrow ceiling which IS inaceptable. Good tíme to reconstruct mine. Deadline africké passed but there IS hope picture of fcastle height IS not Core of it. Rob, ať this pointa I believe yours IS now trupy only fair replica... I Will reconstruct mine when having tíme. I strach McKays drawing of his clipper from Crothers book clearly demonštratívne that fcastle ceiling goes Higher above main rail line. ...interesting. sily of me. V. Sailor IS standing on deck. Mainrail double line IS partially showed - just one "floor" below him...easy ...

There is window for that , sure not this summer. autumn maybe winter more likely. I will try to raise fcastle though. Im in no rush at this pint as I only need pelnty of ropes and chains as everything else is ready. so maybe oing snowy winter nights will do I thought it was never built that way originally - that fcastle floor would stand higher than sheerline . misfortune that with so many nice photographs we have there is not one showing fcastle and one pointing forward standing aft shows very dim idea of fcastle. happy continuation Rob. watching from time to time.
