Lovely boat to model, best of luck. Unusual for a pilot cutter to be ketch rigged. Will look forward to seeing her on the lake.

Very nice start. They do make extra long drill bits, but it is a pain to buy one for just one hole. You might try a cabinetry shop and see if either they will loan you one(good luck) or take your hull down and have them drill it. I actually went to a machine shop and had the prop shaft bolsters made for my icebreaker. They were tapered, which I could do, but the shaft ran thru them at an angle.well beyond my skills. They bored the shaft log holes and then turned the tapers at an offset. WOW, it was wonderfu to watch, and worth the $'s just too see how to do it.

She looks a lovely boat and well done for your honesty. Silly question but could you not have saved the embarrassment by launching in the bath. ๐ค
You will get so much satisfaction when she is finally right and you are getting well deserved praise watching her on the water. Well done ChrisG ▲
