Thanks, Dave! John -
She's really looking first class! John

Thanks again for your support, folks! John

I would say definitely a boom crutch. The fact that lines cross on the plan is not a definite indication that the crutch was outboard of the rail, as draughtsmen of the time often crossed lines which, by strict modern convention, shouldn't have been. This is clear from some of the lines shown on the detail of the plan of my 'Stag', below, showing the lower sheet block; rudder and tiller and deckhouse all in solid lines behind the bulwark (with the rudder and tiller also behind the deckhouse). The red arrows on the pictures below show the boom crutches. John Detail of Stag Contemporary model at NMM

That looks really nice, Grant. It's hard to tell from your photo, but just double check that the scale height is OK before you get much further along. John -
Slowly coming together, Mark. John

Thanks, Piet! John

Very nice indeed, Danny! John

She's really looking first class, Piet. paint your 'secret weapon' black and no one will ever know! John

Yeah, keep it coming, Bob. It's fascinating not only to see your build, but to see the shape of this unusual (to us) ship emerge. John

Thank you one and all for your kind words. Now all I have to do is to live up to your expectations! John

Well, after another long silence - finally an update! I'm continuing to make and fit hull frames, and am finally starting look like that job will be finished soon; only a few more to go now. The next job after that will be to fair up the inside of the hull as needed and fit some stiffening in the form of stringers before I start to fair up the external hull for planking. Here are a few photos of the current situation. John

The aerials would very quickly weather in the salt air to a very dull green/grey. John

Most books on seamanship will have a section on code flags, but I don't know of a book that will give you a complete run down on signal flags other than the old "International Code of Signals", which is the 'official' code flag book. John

It's your creation, mate! Make whichever parts moveable that you want to move. John

Les, A ship may very well fly her 'numbers' - a four flag code hoist which gives her name; she may also fly a code flag indicating the part of the port to which she is headed; she may also be flying pilotage and quarantine flags. Naval ships, of course, may be flying private signals to the base to which she is bound. Your "St Roch" may well have flown no signal flags at all when entering harbour. John

Your Aggie is looking very impressive, Mobbsie! Congratulations Sjors on his 21st birthday, and to you and Christine as you celebrate 40 years of wedded bliss. If the weather holds, make sure you take Sjors and Anja up over Hardknot Pass - from the coast side is best! John

More excellent work! John -
Looks a fun and interesting build, Bob. John

Piet, Are Dutch mines grey? All other mines I have seen are painted black - or do museums etc. simply paint them black to try and make them look more sinister? Johnb
