Michael,
Firstly, for heaven's sake put those containers of parts away in a cupboard somewhere before you bump them and knock them off the bench!
Go for the dark hull if you want a traditional look and white if you want a yacht. Many traditional working craft in the U.K. had their hulls painted with tar as it was both cheap and a good preservative.

I don't think the extra angle on those forward stanchions will be really noticeable, Danny (unless the ones on the other side have significantly less).

Thanks Robert! Not skill so much a dogged determination (or is that pig headed stubbornness?)

Why red under the grey, Andy? (I'm not a great paint person).

so from certain angles they don't look right in the pics
Good job you mentioned that, Danny. My first thought was, "Hmmm, they don't look right."

Looks really nice, Bob.
I'm not familiar with American fishing schooner rig. What's the angled strap from the mastheads and down around the topmasts?

I've said it before, Toni. It's not so much how you work, as how you recover from the inevitable disasters that counts in the end.
