HMS Victory Quarterdeck

[pauls models]

Hi it's Paul here
I am now working on the quarterdeck in my usual style and I have one problem which some of you clever lads might know the answer to.
On the quarterdeck where the open area to the Upper gun deck is, visiting the ship the area where the barge, launch etc are stowed is sheeted over and wondered if this the was norm when sailing, or is open to the elements. I need it sheeted as I do not want a big hole on the deck!
Thanks. all keep well
Paul
