Good luck on your journey #2, remember to ware your mask 😷 when char removing 😁. I found if I used the back side of my 10 blade first sanding was quicker. But it is slow steady work. Good luck Bob M.

David, I looked at a lot of St. Roch builds today the ones that look the best are just in line with the portholes. I even went to the Vancouver Museum web site, their St. Roch portholes are even with the rubbing stake. I think they look good. Can we lower the rubbing stake just a bit or do you have to raise the portholes. I would go for a little tidier than accuarcy but I am a newbie lol.

Great discussion, being a relatively new commer, do to my lack of knowledge as to how things are done I relie on the instructions lol. When I coppered mine I followed the book, Chris Watton designed the Pegasus so how could I go wrong. I guess it up to the modeler, start at the water line and work down or start at the keel and work up. Leave the keel open or cover it with copper. After you finish something you always find something better and you say to your self I should have done it like that. Lol 😆
-
I can add a false keel but who's going to see but us . So after reading this thread, I over lap mine, just followed the instructions lol. But now not sure if it is, done right but it will do lol.

Hi Jake, I belive that belaying pins were not use for a hundred years. After the Mayflower, but I would ask @allanyed he my go to guy when I need to know anything, he has the answers lol.

Hi Jake, I wonder the same thing when I was building my Mayflower, by Amati. All I found out was they used chamber pots on the bow grating. I guess they sat anywhere from the ladder to the door, just guessing lol Now I don't have to ask Grandpa Phil what is "seats of ease" . Hope it helps .

I got to see the SS Klondike back in 1978. I flew to Inuvik from Edmonton, then after a day there I took a bush plane to Eagle Plains to paint a motel there. We got caught up with the drywallers so they sent my boss and I to White Horse to get supplies. So we took a 1/2 ton truck down the Demster HWY to White Horse, they put four spare tires in the back of the truck and said good luck hope you make it lol. We had 3 flats on the way there and two on the way back, I was told it was because of the permafrost the road was build and it cracks along the road not across it . Well in White Horse we walk around the SS Klondike What a trip I still rember it clearly well most of it lol but I do rember the river boat lol 😆 😜
