Sort of like a mini "Revenue Cutter". Curious as to how the Squares'ls are deployed and recovered.

Come on guys, if you are going to have a tiny square rigged vessel, why not do the job properly?

Sorry about the picture, I couldn't find an original, so had to pinch that one. Thats Ralph Sewell's 5th scale Endeavour replica, the hull is 22 feet I think. Now in the Russell Museum. Ralph went on to build a rather bigger square rigger, Breeze, see http://www.woodenboat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83572

Not to forget this effort by interned German sailors at Berrima (south of Sydney) during WW1.

How about this one?

From Ten Pound Island Books (http://www.tenpound.com/179/1.html)

Broadside. “THE SMALLEST BOAT THE EVER CROSSED THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.” Folio sheet 11 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches. The top third of this sheet is an engraving of the ship-rigged “Red White and Blue,” with two men lounging beside her to give an indication of scale, “taken from a photograph made at the Crystal Palace, London.” The text brags that the 29 foot vessel made an Atlantic crossing in 34 days “against head winds and during very tempestuous weather.” Indeed, Google has unearthed an 1866 newspaper article documenting this voyage, which was apparently undertaken to promote “Ingersoll’s Great American Boat and Oar Bazaar” - as it is styled in this broadside, with “over 100 race, row, sail, fancy, ship and metallic life boats on hand.” Unusual. Lower corner and left edge chipped, not affecting text or images. Tender at folds. $200

Let me try. Those museum sites can be tricky beasties -
