Have you thought about putting in stealers to fill the gaps between the planks on aft portion of hull?

That has been done thanks.

I did not really like how Occre had the finish of the gun ports done so I added this:



As opposed to this.

Me likey, much better looking IMHO

 

[BLD SHPS]

So all the standing rigging is finished.
I started rigging the sails


As I started looking at the sails I noticed a big BO BO I cut the top mast on the main to short so not to screw up the whole thing I came up with a plan.The red arrow shows the mast that is short by about an inch the blue arrow shows my remedy.I will cut the mast off and add a new one of the right length and doweling them together at the blue arrow should not show if I do it right.

 

[BLD SHPS]

The mast is fixed just needs a little stain came out pretty good!
