Hi Ronald According to the plans in the McGowan book on the Victory, the two launches on the aft davits would appear to be a pair of 25ft Cutters. These are the only two identical sized launches carried, all the rest are either larger or smaller than the 25ft. Hope that helps although she did carry different sized cutters and or boats at different times!

Hi again Ronald! Unfortunately I'm building the much more basic DelPrado 1/100 scale Victory which only gave two cast metal boats for the two on the davits! If you check through the official build guide by Mr T on the main ship section you should be able to find out which ones are supplied - knowing DeAgostini its probably the full compliment. Again from the McGowan book, he states: 18ft cutter 25ft cutter 28ft pinnace 30ft cutter 32ft barge 34ft launch Including the two 25fts on the davits that would seem to be seven boats but the plan drawing only shows six. It would seem to be the 34ft launch, 28ft pinnace and 32ft barge in a line at the front of the waist with the 18ft cutter behind the pinnace. The 30ft cutter was probably interchangeable with the other large boats.

Ronald, the exact same questions I have already replied in your PM's to me, and have informed that both davit cutters are not provided in the kit content which can als be determined from the official build
