So are there two sets of rigging front and rear?Any other than a buttle\combat situations and rough sea. In rough seas, specifically, they close all the ports preventing water inboard thru.

Yes, I made these inserts between the wales.I saw them on Ambitieux drawings .This is a shkun .A small board placed under the anchor's paw, in order to avoid friction of the side when lifting the anchor.I also made inserts in the area of the main-fore- channes.Shrouds are attached to them.When covering, I first installed power belts,barkhouts.I was gluing a second skin between them.@Mr.Deep, I noticed that you had a vertical swoop of black wood between the wales near the bow. I have not seen that on any of the other models what did you use to make it? It looks good. Also, I believe I have seen a model of picture of the ship where at least one gun port cuts into the wale towards the rear of the ship. Is that the way you did it? Did you place the wales before you planked the second skin?

I get it, Jim. Right now I’m just playing with some ideas and experimenting on some carriages that will be covered by the deck. I do like the bigger front wheels. I don’t think I can get my lathe to do what you suggest. I’d need another chuck that would hold a bit. If I drill too deeply, the holes will definitely be off center. Fortunately, I have plenty of dowel if I make a mistake. I’ll look for an Exacto razor saw. I’d have to make a miter box. Maybe I could just saw along the edge of the vise?

i think they also move the cannons sideways against the ports so that they don"t break through the ports.Any other than a buttle\combat situations and rough sea. In rough seas, specifically, they close all the ports preventing water inboard thru.
Yep, this is exactly what I meanWould this work?

I have heard of these extra boards added to protect the hull from anchor bills.Yes, I made these inserts between the wales.I saw them on Ambitieux drawings .This is a shkun .A small board placed under the anchor's paw, in order to avoid friction of the side when lifting the anchor.I also made inserts in the area of the main-fore- channes.Shrouds are attached to them.When covering, I first installed power belts,barkhouts.I was gluing a second skin between them.
Interesting!I have heard of these extra boards added to protect the hull from anchor bills.
I have heard that is where the term bill boards came from, as when in port and at a wharf, notices would be tacked to the boards looking for crew or cargo.
Thanks for the reply. Do any of the gun ports cut through the wales?
