Yes John - I know the logic. Am I the only one that thinks they look incongruous on a 1901 shaped hull?

Given how small they are relative to the hull and the probable cruising speed of the yacht, I imagine that they were probably not particularly successful in attenuating the roll.  However, knowing that they had been installed (expensively, no doubt), perhaps the owner(s) just "felt" better.

 Keith, add them to the hull and if you absolutely despise the look of them, build the stand in such a way that they are hidden.

Keith, thank you for the interesting and detailed photo reports. This is wonderful!

As always Keith, beautiful work!

Still like the idea of a white stripe on the hull where it meets the dark green color of the topsides with the mahogany below!

For what it’s worth!

They definitely ruin the fantastic shape of that timeless hull. I would not install them.

Plus they will get broken in the process of building the superstructures and handling the hull.

Or, left a friction fit or a rare earth magnet at the top of the mounting post so you have a choice?

Great "I can't make my mind up" option Stephen.🙂

Another good way to avoid the problem Keith.

Rick - that was always going to be the plan but as time goes by I am refining it. Indecision is the sincerest form of procrastination.

Yves, I feel compelled to resit my desire to exclude them. I am hoping that finishing them in mahogany to match the lower hull will cause them to fade into the background. 🤞

As for breakages.😬

Craig / Valeriy and all other visitors to my build - thank you for your contributions.

Hi Keith, OK, I'll be the "stick in the mud" .  To me, while I agree about the aesthetics of the issue (ruins/denigrates the lines of that beautiful hull), I tend to model my subjects true to the period/time I have selected for the model.  If you have selected 'as built' then leave them off, but if you have selected a more current time, and they were fitted at that time, then I would include them.  In the end though, the decision is yours, and you have to live with it.

 

Enjoying your build, which is coming along as nicely, if not better than you previous high quality builds.

 

cheers

For me, it's a decision point. If you intend to build she as current state, include the stabilisers and build the bridge with modern navigation instrumentation (i mean radar screens etc.) as shown on the pictures. If you'd like to omit the stabilisers, i think you should build the bridge as an older look too. Plus, in this case you have to omit the WD40-Duct tape combo from the machinery shop.
