    Worked on the rigging the rudder Time to start attaching blocks. I am trying to attach as much as possible now. Per my calculation, I have to do 6 more. And the deadeyes. I will have to do a little paint touch-up.

    The work on the bow sprit continues...

    Starting to rig the bowsprit. None of the the lines are attached yet to their respective cleats. I have a few holes and lines to prepare before I am able to do so. As I am working on upgrading this build from the standard plan from AL, I need to get more chains. Quite a few ropes will be replaced by it.

    Thank you. I will continue working on Krabbenkutter next week. My daughter is getting antsy so I need to make some progress on the Marie jeanne.

    Thank Don! Traveler makes sense. It is a very simple term. I was imaginating something super technical.

    Working on the bowsprit. I used the French plan to create a rocambeau (French word) not sure what it is called in English. Any idea? Attached the bowsprit. First chain attachment in place.

    Spend the past few weeks reorganizing the shipyard. I have a few more additions to make to maximize the storage (new workbench) . I will be creating a platform for the table saw to store it below. I created this mini platform with storage from scrap wood to allow me to work standing or to have the ship higher when seating.

    Yes. I did. I find it easier to have a clean deck line.

    Painting done. Clear coat on...

    Thank you. Yes, I used an airbrush. Tough though to get a clean edge on wood. I had a few problems (paint bleeding) and had to fix with a paint brush here and there.

    Painting preparation She decided to go with blue. So here we are... Black rail.
  18. captgino
    Yes. The deck is going to need some work. I think I found your build on Blogger. If it is you., you did a great job.
  19. captgino
    White primer. A few issues became visible
  20. captgino
    Some more painting... I did not glue the fish rack yet. It will be easier to work on the mast and rigging later.

    Hello everyone, I was asked to finish this ship on behalf of a fellow shipbuilder who past a few years ago by his daughter. The Hull was completed with a few mistakes here and there. Some repairs were needed to get it as smooth as possible. The deck furnitures were also completed for the most part. They do need some love and attention. Here is a picture of the ship now. Started to work on the rails and discovered a few problems. Repaired Here is the result after the rails have been installed

    Quick update. The holiday season brings a lot of projects around the house. Therefore, my progress are limited. Nothing is glued or painted yet.
  24. captgino
    Small update. Worked on the tiller. It still needs to be painted. I also have added a few attachments.
