Ahoy, Shipmates! I've had the drawing of this ship in front of me for weeks now, it was only yesterday when I prepared to make the rudder mounts, I noticed a big error on the drawing - 1st photo, can you all see it? (Now we know why the rudders had chains!! ROTF )
The second photo shows the waterline, but it follows the deck, not the keel. Photo shows the ship mounted with keel level, which is correct, I ask?
Photo 3 is of my mod making a more comfortable #3 scalpel handle.

Thanks in anticipation for any advice,
Stuart
Something else I've noticed, is the bobstay is connected below the waterline on the drawing - surely not correct?
