Comment:
"Note that the keel is not attached to the model and is apparently a non-original addition." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. July 23, 2009.)

"Note also, that a counter stern and a strip along the sheer have been carefully added to the model in preparation for taking the offsets of Romp and Alice." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. September 30, 2011.)
