Currently building Hms president,coming to mast stage soon so looking at the measurements how much is meant to go into the hull,cheers eddie b
Thank you bills hadn’t seen those notches on plan 1 as I actually started the build 15 years ago the hull and deck being completed then restarted a few weeks ago so didn’t look that far back in the plans.Now finding not done as it should have been but slowly rectifying things plus it’s hard to find online images that have followed the plans all the way so just to be sure the length given on the plans goes down to those notches , thanks againHi Eddie.
If I understood your question correctly, you can find this by measuring from your plan or directly on your model.
I have Sergal's HMS President plan and housing of the masts are shawn as in the picture below.
By the way why dont you create a log on the forum about your model? We can help you more easily.
Good luck with your model.

No problem Eddie. Feel free to ask anything you want.Sorry should say bilal
Exactly what I did when I built HMS PresidentI take the mast length from the plan set then “add“ to that the length needed to set the mast through the deck…usually a few inches. I don’t know if that is right or wrong…just the way I have done it over my last few builds…
