New design La Bellle by Caf Model

Dear CAFmodel! If these photos are used as instructions for the kit, please correct one detail.
The fact is that the anchor lines are wound onto the horizontal winch drum from the top, not from the bottom. Furthermore, the anchor line also pays out from the drum only from the top.

In this case, the sailors can operate the levers by pulling them toward themselves rather than pushing them away. This has been the practice in all countries throughout history.

I wish you continued success!

Bonjour Tom, est-ce que toutes ces améliorations s'appliquent à votre kit à l'échelle 1:48, ou au nouveau modèle « La Belle » à l'échelle 1:36 que j'ai vu en vente sur votre site web ?

Thank you very much for giving me this information. It's really useful，I have been troubled by this matter for a long time。

Salut Tom, merci pour ces précisions. Comptez-vous mettre les instructions en ligne comme vous le faites pour vos autres modèles ?
 
The website lists two options, Section 1 & Boat 128, I understand the Section 1, is as listed, but what is "Boat 128" as there is a major price difference.

That is the separate price for a small boat for use on the ship. It is listed and shown separately on the site, and is the correct size for use on the La Belle.
