Looks good. The broadest part of a cobble is further forward, probably a third of the way aft.
There are still a few moored in the harbour, although different sizes, they all seem to be very
similar in plan view.
As for the new words, the fishermen used different words for the same thing dependant on where they
came from, they all seemed to have their own dialect.
They didn't have "cobbles" in Scarborough, I think they were known as "mules". A mule is pointed
at both ends.

I was following a plan that I have so I don't know.
The cobles were hand built and each one is different. They differ as to where they were made as well, make up and slope of the beach would also come into play.
A mule is usually a large double ended coble.

Woar - its what they called an oar in Bridlington apparently.

I am just adding the Korvels.

Hi Zak,
I hope the 'Korvels' are ready to go.
In these times a little delay is to be expected.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

Some of these words will drive you nuts, I'm sure some of it is an attempt to spell the way the word sounded when spoken.
"scutboard" could be linked to kicking-board, a scut was a clout, usually delivered with a flat hand,
"scut be'ind the lug'ole". I may be wrong of course.

Who knows, could also be scudboard? A stout transverse board over the top of the stern to hold it together.

I can see this has opened up a whole new vista of research.

Whatever Gentlemen,
I'm sure that whatever you 'cobble up' will be brilliant.

You could always do a small workshop in the future repairing robots - to let your imagination run riot with the background - you could even have a zombie looking in the workshop window.
Just a thought, I think I can hear you shouting "shut up and keep your daft ideas to yourself" -- hohohohoho

Remember this idea from me - well the postman has just delivered my new issue of "Fantasy Figures International" magazine and coming in the next issue is an article about a Scandinavian workshop repairing robots called "I can fix it with duct tape and 5-56"  is this YOU Zak and if so will you autograph my copy - hohohoho. 
Strange how daft ideas from me come around in the real world isn't it.
