There are clocks and tackle attached to the tiller to aid the helmsman.

I still have quite a lot of running rigging to model. The standing rigging
is almost finished.

Exellent idea. thank you very much. This will be easy to implement. I also

Actually it is a 18 gun Brig. She carries 2 24 pound long guns in the bows
and 16 32 pound carronades.

I have done quite a bit of modelling on both the long guns and the
carronades. I will attach an image of the long gun generated during and
experiment with Iso CSG and textures. It shows that I have quite a lot to
learn about both, but you will be able to see the basic modelling.

Thanks for your comments.
