    I have also been scratch-building a Thames Barge, 'Will Everard' ,1:48 scale (24" long), from Nexus Plans. It has been ongoing for a few years. Got to coax the sewing machinist into making the sails. Then the rigging to finish.
    I intend to make a detachable keel and a rudder extension.
    The rudder is ok but the keel I have no idea about. How long, what weight? Any help would be appreciated.
