Andy,
What a magnificent model—she looks absolutely great and very elegant out on the water.
All your effort has really paid off; she sails beautifully.
A real pleasure to see.

Success !

Made a few small changes, minor rigging, added some ballast to the stern and shortened the mast, lowering the take of point of the jib. Looks better and sails fine. However, still have a small leak via the prop shaft, so that does need some thinking about for a solution.

Took the boat for a first sail today. This has been delayed as the local weather has been so windy. Sailed better than expected - a couple of small issues and a small leak - which I think is the prop shaft, so will need to explore that. However, its more likely to be the join between the cockpit and deck edge, as the cockpit is removable.
This is a link to a YouTube video. Trying to hold the phone and control the boat with three servos was a bit of a challenge - but hopefully shows the general idea.

I’d previously built a model of a Bristol Pilot Cutter without an additional keel, but the hull shape was very different.
The Dutch barge hull is basically flat bottomed. I’ve struggled to find any useful info about other similar models. The only guidance came from looking a models of Thames barges, which have an additional keel, so that was the reason to make one. The keel is easy to remove as is the lead weight, the idea is that it is easy to make another of different design if necessary.
