    'Large' pump, from either Strike or BC would do the job and be useful if you wanted to use it in combat later. Since you're looking at just pumping out minor leaks though, anything really will work, right down to the BC Micro pump. Bear in mind you generally need a depth of water in the hull before you can start pumping it out, usually 1/4 - 1/2" depending on the pump. If you don't have water channelling, this may be a considerable amount in a ship the size of the Bis.

    No waterproofing necessary for the pinstripe.

    Just looked at the photos of here sailing and must say that is one sharp looking ship!
    One suggestion, the flag on the bow is upside down.
    Great photos!!!

    the flag on the bow is actually always willl be that way due to the fact the flag is one sided because of how thin it is so the other side would be right side up.

    the admirals flag a pump and maybe some little stuff on the hull when im not scared to mess it up but after the flag and pump i can probably be safe to say it is finally complete and btw i love how your ship is coming out.
