In that scale, that boat has to be between 15, and 18 inches in actual length !?! ( maybe even longer )
I would think, a boat like that would have "cradles" fore and aft to keep it from rolling sideways off the cart. That would make for better stability than "ropes". I have to admit that I don't have any idea what the local waterman's custom would be, and that it is possible that I am completely wrong. It's just that I've only ever seen cradles, supporting a boat that is being transported on a cart, or trailer, or rail car.
Good looking lap strake construction, nice lines. A good, sturdy, and, I would think easy rowing, boat.
I'm still trying to wrap my brain around that 'modeling scale' :o :o
