I understand that there were 6 boats on the Victory. One of 34' 32' & 28', 2 x 25' and one of 18'. I would like to complete the ship's boat total by including the 2 x 25' cutters which were hung on the davits. Do you have any suggestions? Many thanks. John

Many thanks for that info. I am also changing the middle gun deck dummy cannon barrels for a size that looks more like the 24pounders that were used.John

Hi Pluto,
If you go to MWG's diary you will find that he offers a set of cutters to fit the quarter davits. They are true to scale and really good value. I will be buying a set myself in the near future.
Happy building
David

Hi Pluto the 24 pounder dummy cannons are correct, it is the Dummy 24 pounders on the bottem row which need to be changed to 32 pounders. I can supply these also if there is an interest Kind regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.
