Ricky, The lesson is: - use all the information you can lay your hands on, and not just the instruction book! John -
Come on, Håkan, pictures, man, pictures! John

Sarah, I found some photos that might help you. 1. Bollards to the left of this photo of a preserved trawler in the U.K. 2. A coaling scuttle on the same trawler 3. A photo off the web of a small spurling pipe (for the anchor shain) of the type shown on your plan. John

Beautiful work on that block, Michael! John

All ready for the lobsters, Popeye! John

Nice to see your build back, Sumner! John

Dale, The Stag is actually carvel built. Although a lot of early cutters were clinker hulled, the plans for the Stag show her very clearly as being carvel. In theory, the difference between a cutter and a sloop (bearing in mind that in the 18th century a sloop could also be a small three masted ship) was that the cutter had a running bowsprit while the sloop had a fixed bowsprit, however in practice the terms seem to have been used rather loosely. Falconer (Marine Dictionary 1780) lists a cutter as a sloop rigged vessel used in the south of England by smugglers and by the customs service. John

Well, perhaps I'm mistaken, so I've sorted out a selection of files and will post them in the following few posts. Again, if anyone has any questions on what the heck I was doing up to now, please don't hesitate to ask. John

Good work, Bob. Those hinges would have looked rubish without the pins - with them, they look superb! John

Michael, left handed rope is obviously used for tying left handed knots! Seriously, it used to be used for shrouds on larger ships and sometimes on small ships. Strangely enough (if memory serves me) coir rope was often laid up left handed. John

Chris, Thanks for giving us back your Folke! John

Danny, I have all my pictures, but I didn't think that this was an important enough log to reconstruct it completely. John
