  1. I didn't think you posted it but is the lower deck planked in walnut ?
  2. Thanks for the likes. Scott, just used a spray starch and iron before sewing the edges.
  3. Finished up installing the jibs. Going to work on the foremast shrouds and ratlines now before installing the main sails,
  4. Finished installing the Topgallant and Topmast Staysails. Also finished installing the upper ratlines on the main mast. Going to start working on the 3 jibs now. Thanks for all the positive comments. Really appreciate it.
  5. Tom, are you using the copper that came with the ship kit? Looks really good. Carl
  6. I finished the main mast lower ratlines. Got a little crooked for the first time doing these but overall I'm pleased. Working on the center sail now. Have the staysail partially installed. Next is the topgallant and topmast staysail.
  7. In my book on rigging by Petersson they show a similar setup but it ties off at the deck, not to itself which makes more sense rather than having to climb up and untie it.
  8. Finished up the mainsail lower shrouds and working on the ratlines now.
  9. Working on rigging the deadeyes now. Thought it made sense to rig the lower portion then I could lastly seize the lower portion around the upper deadeye. Hope that makes sense.
  10. Welcome back. I use 3M vinyl striping tape. Good stretch and adhesion.
