Hi, sorry the hole for the pulley must be longitudinal to the keel otherwise it is not possible to move the pen to the other side.
You are so right, Frank! I’m not quite finished with that part yet. I’m still experimenting with a few things because I’ve never done one of these boats before. This is just me roughing it out. Thanks for the input.

Hi, Thanks for answering me
Well, it looks like the sail will work. Now I’ll go back and work on the pulley, the oars, and the rudders.

Good morning Vfordyce, OK but the pulley is missing, Frank
I actually built an immovable pulley inside the slot. Two holes all the way through the mast 5mm apart. I set a groove between the two holes and made the part between the two holes rounded like a pulley. You just can't see the pseudo pulley because the rope is in the way. I also put a pin in the side of the mast to hold the pseudo pulley in place. Thanks for coming aboard, Frank! You challenge me to grow.
Shrouds added. 
Good evening Vic. This is turning into a really good little boat. Looking awesome. Pretty realistic. Cheers Grant
Thanks, Grant. I feel like I'm making it up as I go along, though. Not much useful information out there on lateen sails that I could find..

I have to agree with Grant. Nice job.
Almost done! A couple of rope spools, a basket to weave, and a stand. 
A basket with some loaves and fish?
Thanks, Heinrich! There was a lot more bashing than I anticipated. But it’s good experience.
Looks great! The net is a nice touch.
Just fish, Paul. The loaves would get waterlogged on the boat. No plastic wrap back then.
