Hello,

many thanks for the interest and the nice comments, but also for the LIKES.
I'm very glad about that.


In the meantime, I made a new bowsprit. The previous one was from Ramin, which does not fit the other masts.

The mast-rings still need to be supplemented.

Hello,
before I go on with the report, I would like to thank you for your interest and compliments, also for the LIKES.
The bowsprit is ready so far except for the rings for the font fish. The dolphin striker for the La Crèole was forged from iron. The jib boom and the flying jib boom have now been made.
Here are some pictures:

Exquisite execution of the small details Johann, I am curious about the capture screws on the bands it appears as the method for tightening was a hole for a pin or bar rather than a slot. could you clarify for me please.

Hello Michael,

the method of tightening the bands was a hole for an iron bar.
Here is a drawing from the Atlas du Genie Maritime. There is the principle to see.
I hope that I could clarify the facts for you.

Thank you Johann, it is as I surmised, so thank you for the drawing and confirmation. I like this design for such small items and it was obviously practical at sea a tapered bar or pin would be a common tool.
