Just sort of a teaser, but my next model on the bench is from 1966 Aurora, going to smell fishy........ I do need some help on what the correct way would be rigging the main hatch - the model instructions seem weird. Aside from the eyebolts being out of scale, the way they batten down just seems loose - if that make any sense, would anyone have any historical pice of the Wanderer's deck layout? (Photo is another modelers work off the 'net, not mine).
Been digging deep in the 'net tonight and I found these old pics of the Wanderer deck hatch. So, I think I have something to go on when I change the deck. from what I can tell the board spanned the hatch without the center ‘board’. Also noticed that the Ratlines were straight rods/slats, no ratlines on the shrouds.
AJ Fisher sells a Wanderer kit. There’s an add for it in the current Nautical Research Journal. Maybe they’ll sell you a set of drawings that will be better than those that came with the plastic kit.
