Scale: 1:48. Plan showing the body plan with stern board decoration detail, sheer lines with inboard detail and figurehead, and longitudinal half-breadth for Inspector (1782), a 16-gun Ship Sloop as built by Mr Game at Wivenhoe.

The body plan shows some form of lateral hydrodynamic bulges or fins at the turn of the bilges from the stern to about Station 3, which may have been designed to improve stability.
