  1. Looking at the pictures we could noted ,when anchor secured in stowed position, than anckor tackle should be disangaged and single thick rope arranged instead of.
  2. Some thoughts ... as I understoo with this hanging bulleye (fixed above fm upper deadeye) spritsail pendant passes clear/and above of anchor gear, but not below as You arranged presently... ?
  3. Good day, All looks good, however have question ,how did You rig spripsail sheet ...it is not clear from the pictures... as I understood...at least looking at old dutch pictures...there should be long pendant which passes throug hanging bulleye attached to the first shroud area, than this pendant ended with single sheeve block, and than there should be simple whip tackle with this block started and ended somewhere in the waist...?
  4. Good day Michael, Anchor assembly looks very good! All the best!
  5. Good day Bruma, Your job just brilliant! I follow your building reports with great pleasure! Wish You all the best!
  6. Good day, I would like to add, how" right "/correct coiled ropes were made! Great job!
  7. Michael, I dare say, you are the first person in my memory who tried, and by the way, very successfully and very authentic for the 17th century, depicted retracted topsails !!! My respect and respect! Great job!!!
  8. On the pictures, looks like clews rising up from the mast top platform to the lead blocks on the yard?
  9. Michael, You just read my mind! :)))- fake furled vertical section! I think it will work as need!:) All The Best!!! Kirill
  10. Michael, Why didn't You make topsail furling like this? It looks like ,not the first time( not the first Vasa ,not first galleons), people try to avoid any possible ways making this pure style of 16-early 17th topsails furling ... which makes me crying every time... again not! :((( :)))... don't understand why?... it is so specific thing in topsails furling for this time...details You could read in Harland book "Seamanship in the age of sail",
  11. Good day Michael! Looks Fantastic! Great! All the best! Kirill

  18. Michael, funny thing I was 100% sure You made those small deadeyes from copper strip :))) together with chain as single unit and that white middle area was light reflecting on the photo but now I see it was made from plastic strip and painted at the ends as wood ... very interesting how mind could play with seen objects makes You believe in existing of fiction things :)))
