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.

Paul,
It's good to see your Scharnkorst groing on MSW mark 2!
As for the discussion re political symbols, it is MSW's policy not to allow any political, religious, racial or sexual symbols or content except where such symbols are an intergral part of the historical depiction of the model, such as, for example, Nazi symbols as they were displayed on German WWII ships at the time.

Floyd, the Stag's windlass design is a little unusual, but here are a couple of crops from the original plan.

Well, the Stag is back, but only in a “from here on” form, as I never keep copies of my posts.
Just to remind you, the Stag was an English revenue cutter built at Ryde, on the Isle of Wight, in 1827.
This was the revenue cutter that seized my Great-great grandfather’s boat Palmerin, which was the subject of a now defunct build log on the old site. I felt it only fair to build a model of the revenue cutter as well – besides, I’ve always liked cutters.
Oddly enough, the Stag was the fastest cutter of her day and as a consequence, the Royal Navy took her into Portsmouth Dockyard in 1839 and took off her lines, which resulted in a very nice set of detailed ‘as built’ drawings, which are housed in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich.
To kick off the resurrected log, here are contemporary paintings of the Stag, her inboard profile and some photos of her as she stands now.
I’ll hopefully be posting an update next week, but in the meantime I’ll be happy to answer any questions that members may have about the build in view of the fact that the information in the old log hasn’t been
reproduced here.

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.

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.
