patrickmil Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share #363 Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks for the likes and comments to all. CaptainSteve, I will scan those in and send them to you. If you guessed eight windows then you were absolutely correct. I'm going with the configuration that Cmdr Martin describes in A Most Fortunate Ship. There is a good picture of the stern in Anatomy of the Ship and I have a drawing of the stern that was made by William Bass. Bass's drawings don't match up exactly with what is in AOTS and are supposed to be a more authentic representation of what she would have looked like, but the drawing doesn't apply easily to the the back of Connie either. I will making more of a hybrid of the AOTS and Bass's drawing.

Buick nut Posted June 5, 2015 Share #368 Posted June 5, 2015 Hello Patrick so far I like your redesigned stern but I have one question isn't the rudder going to interfere with one of the timbers? You eliminated the block that had the hole for the rudder I would like to see how you figure out a solution to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickmil Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share #370 Posted July 25, 2023 Hi Sjors! It has been some time. My mojo has been seriously lacking on wooden ships lately. I do still have Connie and pick her up from time to time to see if the bug bites me again. With my youngest almost flying from the nest, my wife and I should be moving in a year or two and that should come with a much larger work space to spread things out. I'm positive Connie will be resumed soon after that.
