Hello all,
I'm an intermediate level wood ship builder who's tackling Caldercraft's HMS Victory and was surprised to find that nowhere in the internet universe (that I can find) is there a single post or video concerning the construction of the four boats that are part of the kit (unless someone here knows otherwise).
The instructions provided with the kit are rather sparse, and sometimes vague, and even Keith Julier--author of the "Period Ship Handbook"--stated in his book that these boats were the most challenging part of his Caldercraft Victory build.
I don't have a specific question concerning the construction of these boats (I'll eventually figure everything out), but it would be really helpful if somebody on this forum knew even the most basic tips on how to assemble these boats.
