You're not building an accurate model of an actual boat, but a sort of fantasy boat.  I don't think this is much of an issue, especially not structurally.
The bottom line is you.  It's your model, what do you want?  If thine wale offend thee, pluck it off.

I have not done much work on the model lately but yesterday I did manage to make the tubes that the bolts for the drop keel go though. I also made a block to seal between the counter and the deck so water wont get in around the rudder which will be made from aluminium tube and clear polycarbonate that will be slotted and epoxied in place.

A nice bit of progress, Lextin.  Earlier, you were questioning the wales.  What did you decide?

I started on the ruder, I still need to fill the tube with resin, make the hinge and make the tiller. I also made a skylight which will be placed just aft the path of the capstan bars. I am going to go with a capstan rather then a windlass, this clears up space in the bow and fills the extra space towards the stern.

Looking Great Lextin, I like the skylight as well.

I made the capstan, in the images it does not sit flush with the deck because I have not decided on an exact position yet also the capstan bars in the second picture are temporary mockups so I could see how much space the capstan would need.

That is a big diameter for those bars, were they really that big? I am not familiar with capstans.

Capstans don't normally appear on such small vessels but I wanted one and it helped with space management. I made the bars similar in proportion to the capstans on larger ships, if you look at the capstan on dafi's victory you can see that the bars go very close to either side of the ship so I did the same.

I have been working on the removable keel the past couple of days. I made the fin and cut the slots for the bolts I also made a muckup weight from foam board the weight will be cast from approximately 30 pounds lead but first I will do another float test just to make sure that it will need 30 pounds if not I will adjust accordingly.

Those anchors look good Lextin.

The cable looks great , what is the diameter and what threads did you use to make it?

The diameter is about. 3.5mm, (between 3 and 4 inches in full scale) I made it from four strands of some Nylon string that I got from Wal-Mart a few years back. I might change it later on in the build this one was just so I could see how the anchors would look when finished.

I installed the first bit of radio control gear, the rudder servo and the rudder linkage.

I was also wondering if I should ad another gun port on each side towards the stern where I have drawn the [?] I could then get rid of the planed stern chasers by making the two aft most cannons able to be unshiped and moved to the chaser ports when necessary.
