Incredible story behind this boat: one of the greatest feats of seamanship, Captain Bligh's seemingly impossible voyage in a small open boat from near Tonga to Timor, 3618 nautical miles.

I was confused by these cutouts for the oars. I added small blocks which can be inserted when the boat is under sail to increase free-board, which was already low in this overloaded vessel. Somebody build a full scale replica and used something similar to seal off these cutouts. Other options would have ben some posts seen in other models. Does anybody know which version is the historically most accurate?

She definitely has a fascinating history and your workmanship is very neatly done!  Kudos!! 

 

Certainly not your doing, but with so much contemporary information on various ships' boats available, it would be a real joy if OcCre  would do at least a little research instead of putting out their own ideas on what this famous boat looked like and how it was constructed.

 

Again, I realize these are the kit maker's design mistakes.

I'm not that far yet, but I'm also building this kit. Part 57 comes as a raw piece of wood so it'll need shaping/carving.
