Thank you all my friends for the pleasant support. Now my cutter is ready, Yeaah. The attachement of the rudder caused me a little stress. Very tiny parts.

What a wonderful result Adi! Congratulations!
Well done Adi
I know what you mean by fragile frames as I’m currently building Pavel’s John Smith Shallop.
Very fragile indeed.
Nice work!!

Looking very good - well done my friend
Only one small comment:
not completely finished
- there is the small metal (half) ring missing which fixes the mast of the boat

Congratulations Adi on this very fragile dinghy, it looks great and fits in perfectly, as Heinrich said.
Thanks for the hint Uwe, good idea, I will add to it.Looking very good - well done my friend

It turned out to be a very detailed boat, a challenging, but a well-made project, Adi. Great job, I liked it a lot!
A small addendum, I think so the mast can be fixed without hesitation.
Thanks for all the likes and comments I recieved. The rudder gets its safety chains so that it is not lost in heavy seas. In addition, the rudder opening is covered with a leather cover so that the sea water can not penetrate. Attaching the fastening rivets is a real challenge.
Very good is the "leather"-cloth for closing the hole - especially the nailing - great result
Super great result Adi 
Awesome Adi! I find your leather cover very convincing!
Thank you for your continued support. Today I deal a little with the anchors. I will do both variants, as CAF suggests.
Looking very good my firend.
I did not finished the anchor on my Coureur until now, so therefore my question now to you.
How you brought the stock through the hole? Because you have the 90° angle it is not possible.
Did you cut the ball (red line) and installed it back?

Gute Frage. I did not change anything on the stock, I filed out the hole at an angle so that something similar to a slotted hole is created.
When the stick is through the hole and around the corner, it covers the slotted hole so that you can no longer see it.

OK - This is working in the configuration like you made for the first anchorGute Frage. I did not change anything on the stock, I filed out the hole at an angle so that something similar to a slotted hole is created.

I plan to install one anchor hanging at the cathead like this example
Yes Uwe, for the second anchor I plan the same like you.
