Hi Nils,
 
 I think that your way of rigging will be an exampel for masterwork at  my next projekt!

Hi Jerry
It is interesting have two builds on the go and so far I have the discipline to stop work on one to move on the other build.

At frist some pics from the sailmakers workshop.
 

 

 

 
Many thanks to my wife for the perfect results!!!!!!
 
And this is Gianna on yesterday evening.

Thanks. John.

You are right. Two sails, finishing the dinghy, and some details ( Cargo - barrels- sacks) and Gianna is ready.

Kindly Hartmut
 
P.s. The next build is in preparation, so it's time to finish the Gianna.

Thanks, mates!
 
There was a mistake in bounding the mizzensail. I have bounded it invert!!!! A half hour of work, and the problem was quit.
 
Here are three pics. from the seven sheat blocks of the mainyard.

Got back to the canoe the other day, and roughed in the other end above the gunwale.

And then finished it and sanded the entire thing - 120 -> 220 -> 320
 

 
Then after some experimenting on scraps, I took the first big plunge towards my eventual finish plans.
 

 
I chose to stain it prior to putting the ribs in (which are also stained, but no pictures) in order to alleviate worry about glue around the edges of the ribs showing up as glaring spots where the stain didn't go.  I think it will be very difficult to do any good clean-up around the ribs internally after they are placed.  I guess I'll find out later if that was a huge mistake, as the one thing I forgot to test was the effect of soaking on a stained piece of wood, and I think the ribs will have to be soaked in order to make the crazy bends inside the canoe.  I will try doing it with jigs and heat first (on scrap), but I really don't think I'll be able to get away without soaking for this.

I was a little disappointed in the way I finished the deck and I learned what not to do next time.  I drilled all the holes for the treenails prior to staining the deck which in hind sight I don’t think was a good idea.  Prior to staining the deck I stained a test strip with holes in it similar to the deck and found that the stain was bleeding into the holes making a dark ring at each hole.  To avoid this I filled all the holes with wood filler before staining.  There was no bleeding into the holes but the stain was a little blotchy (yes Augie I tried pre-stain this time).  I believe it was from not sanding the deck enough to remove all the wood filler that was on the surface.  I was a little reluctant to sand too much in fear of sanding through the deck plank but again in hind sight there was plenty of material left to sand.
 
 
 
 
For the treenails I decided to show only the treenails located along the deck beams where I had a butt joint and not at every beam between the bulkheads.  I thought it would be too much, not to mention I didn’t want to drill all those holes.  The only problem was that after I filled them with wood filler and stained the deck the treenails didn’t show up too well.  I may redo them.
 

 
For the waterway I tried a few different procedures to make the triangular chamfer strip from the 1/16” square stock.  There is probably a real simple way of doing this but what I came up with was; first I cut a V-groove in a piece of scrap pine using a V gouge, making the depth of the groove slightly less than the finished shape of the waterway.  Next I taped two erasing shields on either side of the groove to avoid sanding into the pine.  The shields are 0.1 mm thick.  Then I laid the wood strip in the groove and removed the top half using my dremel’s drum sanding attachment.  What was left was a nice 1/16” X 1/16” chamfer strip.
 
  
 
 
 

Thank you Patrick!
I really appreciate that you like it!
 
thanks to a lot of spare time, today I proceeded very fast with the standing rigging of the main mast.
As can be seen, I connected the main stay to the main mast, too.
I installed the two triple blocks where the first sail will be connected.
Now I must stop and "study" more carefully the rigging of the mizzen mast, in order to install the blocks and cables that are needed around the main mast, before it became too much filled with ropes.
 
Now the spare time is finished and my fun is over...for the moment!
