          Detailed construction methods allow modeler to form the hull by
            attaching planking strakes to the false keel and frames. Modeler
            will want to file and sand the whole hull until you have a compact
            and smooth surface. Also, each mast and yard arm are hand sanded
            to the correct shape. All deck accessories must be built, painted,
