YES Bob Tim could be right but like i also said they could be bouys an thats why a ship is called a she as when she enters harbours she always heads for the bouys lol

Had another look but nothing, I assume the object floats? May ask on modelwarships?
Worth an ask……I did wonder if the rear nets could be suspended on them without compromising the admiral’s view from his promenade deck?

Apparently it's a night lifebuoy, the balloons were highly polished copper!

I was hoping it was a set of balloons on which the admiral could sit on while being towed by the ship at 21 knots, more relaxing than water sking
I suppose the right question now is what on earth is a night lifebouy? Only allowed to be used at night? Do you just get to drown during the daytime?

The night buoy from what ive read is fitted with a calcium light ,a lid is unscrewed when put in the water, the water ignites the light which burn for about 30 mins.

Attacked the rear mast with a few bits of PE
Not too bad, but room for improvement. The ladder was a right pig to fit and I thought it would be the easiest!! Most fiddly PE I have done yet. Foremast next, similar but no Derrick to add.
Slowly wining my pe nightmares lol
