Now we start the standing rigging with a rope ladder along the mizzen mast, starting from the deck. The rope ladder is made by the same technique as with the rope ladders of top masts. The ladder is attached on the starboard side of the mizzen mast. Bye Joachim

Meanwhile, are mounted on the deck and on the masts blocks of different shapes and sizes. I have hundreds of rings, eyelets and grommets made, painted and mounted in a variety of sizes. Even some small turnbuckles, hooks and various other very inconspicuous parts have now found their place. Bye Joachim

Thank you all so much for the kind words and likes! I am very pleased that you like the AV. Although my english is not perfect, I hope, together with the pictures, you will understand what I mean. Otherwise please don't hesitate to give me a notice. Bye Joachim

And again a few small parts ... It had to make an enormous amount of these parts. Is all very unimpressive distributed on the deck, so here are just a few examples. First of even the turnbuckles for shrouds the lower masts. First, as individual parts, assembled and some pictures from growing on the hull. again some blocks ... In the next picture are top of the bulwark some cleats attached (the smallest of which just 2mm long), before small lamps and down several bollards. On the left side of the bulwark seen some roles and cleats including where the backstays are attached. bye Joachim

and on we go ... There have to be produced lots of small parts that still have to be put on deck and at the mast before they can be fixed. Therefore, here's a snippet of medley. First of the parts in shell construction: then ever with a little color, up some metal bracket with belaying pins, other belaying pins for expanding the betings, additional bollards, rings ... ... Then thimbles in div. Sizes (these are just a few of the many hundreds of other), clamping screws of various sizes, Cross Bollard, some pulleys and various cleats ... ... More small cleats, several additional lamps, brackets, ... bye Joachim

Hi Michael, it's easier said than done, but you have always tried to push the limits of what is possible and I think you're not satisfied with the simple approach. I think you should have a few more attempts companies and I'm sure you will, as always, to be successful. Bye Joachim

All the same now for the foremast. regards, Joachim

And now, the other side of the mast .... regards, Joachim

And it's going on with some updates. After a few failed attempts, I succeeded with a usable rope ladder. On the side-ropes there are fixed small metal rods (0,3mm diameter). The rope ladder is fixed at the upper part of the mast. In the middle the ladder is additionally fixed at the white spreader. And now the ratlines. On the AV every 5th ratline is a metal rod, these also are fixed on the clamping screws. regards, Joachim
