I see there is a suggestion to add a boom to the mainsail. These barges did not have a boom and any mods like that will not be an accurate representation of the original

I have a detachable keel which is fitted for sailing and removed for display
The sails were made from a recycled tablecloth

Might I suggest you use a lighter sprit say 3/16 and add a boom to the main.

An even lighter sprit on the aft 1/8” .
