    Hi Mark, and thank you very much for explanation about this model. It is now the fact, that it is contemporary, and show nibbing. I can't ignore it. Joel, thank you also for comments. I fully agree, that we should use only contemporary sources like plans, models, books and archaeological founds. And you are right that the infos here are very rare. So we should use every info we can find. The plan I have posted above show the deck of a purpose build cutter, designed by T. Slade and build at Deptford by Master Shipwright A. Hayes. So it is not fishing cutter, and if it show nibbing, that suggest that this method was in use in Royal Yards it those times. This was just one of common methods. The other was hooked planks, and they are both still in use in1760's Alex
