Hi, may be that this reference can be useful, browsing in the WEB I found these very detailed plans for the Flying Fish, done by Mr. Bradner, in particular this of the bulkwarks, It shows the ventilations pipes allocation. Also one specific on the ventilators. Probably will be easy to find it in the web. Flying_Cloud_Bradner_bulwarks.pdf Flying_Cloud_deck_ventilators.pdf

Many thanks again, what a nice picture of Sir Lancelot. Its interesting that depicts white masts and also white cabins, deck arrangements are the ones of the Sir Lancelot, also depicts davits, davits appear in some representations and models and by example Mr. McNarry does not include davits in its models. There is a beautiful model of the Red Jacket by Donald McNarry, very handsome ship, will check also the WILD PIGEON. About the Stephen D. Hopkins book "Red Jacket" I have been looking but it is not available anywhere, so Mr. ClipperFan if you have some scans I will appreciate a lot if you can share it with us. By the way, did you know that here in Chile we have still afloat the ship " Huascar" commissioned by the Peruvian Navy in 1864 to Lairs Brothers, Birkenhead, England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huáscar_(ironclad) https://huascar.cl/ Thanks Again. Saludos from Chile, LFG.

Many thanks for your recommendations and support. I will start studying the material that I already have plus the books that will arrive soon. Anyway, this is not a decision that will be taken in the short term, I need to recover the enthusiasm after the last "pandemic" sprint that was required to complete Sir Lancelot". In relation to the Stephen D. Hopkins book, Red Jacket let me see if I can find a used copy somewhere, I really like to go over these books, help me to dream about being on board this magnificent hand-made machines that combine 0 emissions with outstanding beauty.

Hi, many thanks for your advice, Davy Crocket is interesting, at first browse there is very few to use, a plan with the hull lines, a couple of low resolution model photos and that is, no deck plans no sails plan to be used as references. James Baines and Comet are listed on the William L. Crothers "The American-Built Clipper Ship", I found also few references for Snow Squall. By the other hand is Young America, and I agree is Ed. Tosti phenomenal achievement and an excellent choice for accuracy. I believe that you have provide me a good starting point, I will continue looking on this ships to see what I can find. Thanks again.

Now I would like your advice to start the research for my next project, I would like to build an American clipper, there are several options: Flying Cloud: Very well documented, full set of plans available, appealing ( I read Flying Cloud: The True Story of America's Most Famous Clipper Ship and the Woman Who Guided Her See more) and its a very good history. Sovereign of the seas, I got the E. Armitage McCann book "How to make a Clipper Ship Model" documentation is basic, will require much more research. Young America, it seems that its fully documented in three books Modeling the Extreme Clipper YOUNG AMERICA 1853 Volume I, II and III by Edward Tosti, sounds interesting. Flying Fish, I got the Instruction book from BEN LANFORD, may be that I also can get a set of plans. What do you Think fellow clipper fans?
