  1. Hi B.E. its ok. Your questions are right but I've no answer. By the time I've found the text about the leech lines and bunt lines. It was from "Mondfeld" and I am not able to comment on the reliability of this information.

    There are also no traces of foot ropes for that period. Maybe sails are not furled tight to the yard as we think of it but hold together somehow and the yard was lowered to the deck.

    For my model of Mayflower I've strictly followed R.C.Anderson. But for the period of Matthew there are lots of questions.

     

    Cheers

  2. Thank you very much my friends.
     

    Hi B.E. thanks for the tip. You are right but indeed there are too many dubious points with this ship. Even the belaying pins were most likely not in use at that period. . I've omitted some of them and also reduced the numbers but some of them remained.

    As source I've also an article from NRJ and Pastor's AOS "The ships of Christopher Columbus". But I must confess that I've not tried my best.

    (I don't remember exactly, I've read somewhere that leech lines do exist before the buntlines. But I should check this)

     

    P.S. for the moderator. I've attached some pages from a journal and a book. If there is a problem with the copyright I can delete them.

  3. I have attached the sails to the yards and all the rigging to the sails at this stage. Next I will put the rigging on the ship. Finally I will attach the complete yards with sails and rigging to the model.
