Wackowolf LOL - he is not back, i was asking - where is he -
then i suppose all the other stays and lines would prevent the yards being pulled together under the weight of the boat, still a big task and made worse in bad weather, with a pitching sea, which brings me back to why on bigger ships, why were they not always carried external to the poop deck, but thinking about it i suppose they would be more liable to damage, from the elements and cannon fire

yes Yon i have come to that conclusion - but i may try, especially the very aft one, Perhaps it is just a whim on my behalf, but wanting to set nearly 30 sails, was always going to make the ship look busy, now the admiral would like my to put royal marines on, and ships crew, an alternative for me - was to possibly think about having the ships boats as part of the name display on the stand - but at present the verdict is out on that hope you are well all the best

one of the biggest problems with the older boats when dived was condensation, every used to get damp, the wing bilges used to top up, so going anywhere near the surface, invariably caused it to overspill into the working/living spaces. Any bags(grips packed) and stored in the after torpedo storage hatch space, would go mouldy in a short space of time all the best slop drain and sewage, was another story of its own
