There are several good model boat forums and a good search of these does provide some advice. I'd hoped to find another modeller who had built a "Katie". However, I did find this record of a similar boat and this record includes many useful tips - many thanks to the builder "Laker", who has completed an excellent model.
Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter Build – ‘Eliza Rose’ (modelboatmayhem.co.uk)
The suggestion of adding a piece of brass along the keel is an excellent idea, so decided to follow this and used some 7/16 inch square brass. This is currently held in place by 3mm csk machine screws but will be finally fitted in place with some West Epoxy as well.
