Hello Allan, long time no see.

Thanks for posting this
I studied this drawing and have two questions. The legend shows #20, carlings, but I cannot find them identified on the drawing.
Also there is a part #29 that is one thing in one drawing, the group making up the partners, and something totally different, a ring, in the next drawing. Is it the drawing or my old eyes?
Thanks for posting this. I am saving as it is great to see parts identified.

Hi Allan.
Thanks for spotting that.
And now for the excuses HA HA.
I have been copy and pasting legends from 1 diagram to the next and that can be a bit dangerous.
The feedback is most welcome.
Try this one.
Kind regards
Allan

Hello Allan, long time no see.

Hi Bryian. Yes I am still here. Working on Investigator plans and book. I have revised my planking booklet with more diagrams etc which is available on Amazon. I won't post it here because someone uploaded it to a sight like Alamy. If anyone has purchased the previous edition PM me.
Kind regards Allan

Great drawing.
I find this tidbit interesting ( of recent readings)
Its was not like we see in the movies raising an anchor back in the day… or close to modern Danforth / Navy Stockless.
Example It took a large portion of Victory 5 1/2 hours to get an anchor in and secured. .
