Artesania Latina SWIFT Virginia Pilot Boat/1805

I have to ask, is there a rule of thumb on design and installation of deadeye chain plates on a model such as the pilot boat SWIFT? when I build and try and attach mine the deadeye it seems to be coming up to the top railing and would probably be rubbing the rigging on the railing and I feel that would not be right to have rope rubbing back and forth on a real ship especially for a standing rigging .

Glad to see you back at it, I had a LONG break in the hobby, more than 10 years mostly of frustration when I lost contact with local club when hobby shop we met at closed. I got back active when stuck home working when Covid hit.

I see another hobby project nosed in behind the Swift.
Thanks! Yes I have a few projects I need to get done, but as you probably know ther is never enough time!
