Jim Lad Posted February 29, 2016 Author #585 Posted February 29, 2016 Some more progress. The 'dunny' has now been completed along with the windlass. I've been playing about with the windlass on and off for some time, but decided it was time to finish it off. In the photos both pieces are in roughly their final position. Going by the available photos, the 'dunny' seemed to have been moved from time to time, but this is the position it was in when the 'Pritt' went to the Roper River to land the missionaries, which is the period I want. It must have been pretty inconvenient when sailing with the wind aft, as it stuck up higher than the level of the main boom. John gjdale, captainbob, russ and 21 others 24 Quote
