corrected mast top
found out after a bit more study that the mast top chain rigging was incorrect so this has been corrected

- Hate to be the Bearer!
Here is a picture of my Dads wherry, he used combination of chain and rope, too much chain that high in the rigging may not be good?
They would not want too much weight at that height, in the real sail boat.
see pic of real wherry, they only used a short length of chain.

Sorry, hope you don't mind me pointing this out, its nit-pickings I know. Just remember nothing is ever perfect.

- You are off to a good start Jocko, keep it up.

- I generally go for brass rod in my Thames Barges. Are you going to 'plank' the decks over the ply you have laid. I use lime strip 1mm x 5 or 10 on my barges. Always think it looks quite authentic.
Cheers, Nerys - Hi Jacko,
I would go for a rod.
Wire or plastic in a tube is used if you need to bend around something.(normal)

water test
as the wherry is to big to fit in the sink took it to the boat pond this morning just 1 small leak in the rear so got home and filled the hole ?? so now only needs to test the rear this can be done in the sink now to work on the steering and winches
