Sorry for the mishap with an escaping boat, but you've recovered well. John

There are dozens (maybe hundreds) of these available on eBay. All from China; all stupidly cheap. Probably pirated and undoubtedly of very poor quality. My advice would be to stay well away and spend your money on a kit from a reputable retailer. John

I agree - a great storey, Peter! John

You're going to have to put some nice black grease on those parts to make it look 100% realistic, Danny! John

Looks just like a bought one, mate! John

Split topsails and topgallant sails appeared in the mid 1850's. As has been said, this arrangement made the upper sails easier to handle and obviated the need to reef the upper sails. The upper sail of each 'pair' was taken in by the simple expedient of lowering the yard down onto the lower yard. As regards the accuracy of the model that you're restoring, unless the owner has specifically asked for errors to be corrected, then I think the best course of action is to restore it 'warts and all'. John PS Where do you volunteer? John

Mate, when you finish there I've got some electrical work here at home that could do with some attention! Amazing stuff! John

Doug, it was usual to stack the hatch covers on deck. John

Hello Taylor, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That looks like a very nice model to build. John

That all looks first class, Danny! John

Peter, I've never built an RC yacht, but I would assume that VS designed the winch like that for ease of building. It surely wouldn't be too difficult to mount the winch below decks and lead the sheets down to it. John
