rwiederrich Posted August 5 Author #1231 Posted August 5 Thanks guys.... I can regain my focus and clarity. Last couple of days I've been distracted by home repairs. My sweetheart wants to redesign the master bedroom in the French country style. Good thing I know where to keep my focus. I'll be getting back to Staghound soon. Sneaking in a little work hear and there......

Is she thinking along the lines of Louis IX, the "Sun King" like the Palace of Versailles or more subdued like Monet's Garden Home in Giverny? druxey 1

rwiederrich Posted Tuesday at 09:40 PM Author #1234 Posted Tuesday at 09:40 PM I did just a little today thus far. Added the port access way and steps. Not all of McKay ‘s ships had these access ways.

ClipperFan Posted 20 hours ago #1236 Posted 20 hours ago Rob, This looks exactly like it is on the Buttersworth piece. Nicely done!

Moving slowly along the hull...adding details, I just decided it was next. Working from inside the hull I will drill the holes for the mooring fairleads...locating them, then finish up from the outside adding their sleaves. I then can place the cavils and bitts. Things have been a bit slow. I'm prepping to remove the veranda off of our front porch, because it leaks. That will be an all day, Saturday job. Repairing and reroofing the front porch, and rerailing the French doors. Our master bedroom has large French doors that go out onto the veranda. I have also been helping my wife remodel the bedroom...prior to this.

rwiederrich Posted 9 hours ago Author #1239 Posted 9 hours ago (edited) By the way Rich......what's up with that extended fantail railing on the Buttersworth painting? It extends all the way to the main channels. Now who is fudging the facts.....Buttersworth, or every other known drawing and painting of Staghound....? If there is a railing there...then that must mean, there is also decking there...if that is so....then somebody is in serious error, and her deck plan is not as we suspect. Duncan McLean's description and Cheppelle's drawings are in conflict with Buttersworth. Also note the impractical location of the midship mooring fairlead opening. It is right under the railing. If the fairlead is just at deck level...where the planksheer is...and the bulwark is roughly 6ft....why an additional 18" railing? And how is the fairlead even accessible if there is a deck over it? To many booboo's. Just sayin....

It makes no sense to have safety rails beyond the aft poop deck. Duncan McLean, a sailor himself and friend of Donald McKay listed the aft poop deck as 44'. That dimesion is repeated in several other reliable articles. I would disregard those extended rails as being inaccurate.

I would disregard those extended rails as being inaccurate. Besides, one should take into account the "preponderance of the evidence". A datapoint that is an 'outlier' from the bulk of the evidence has relatively little weight ... and artists are known to use 'artistic license' at their discretion.
