    This looks great!  Precise work with lots of small, delicate parts. 👍   How will the sails keep their shape?

    Once sewn and ready, the sails are coated with beeswax. This ensures that there is no longer any frayed structure of the cotton. And the sail is getting a bit stiffer.
    Then the front and back are smeared with diluted PA glue, and i let the sail dry in the desired shape (and, it keeps the desired shape)

     

    Cotton sails are indeed too thick on this scale (I've been warned, and they're right)

    But the general structure and shape is not that bad, i think ( and i like to do stitching and sewing)

    I really like your research.

    Ab

    Thanks, much appreciated

     

    Further with the fore sail

    "Rigging" a parrel ( needed two attempts) I made a whole work plan. Which turned out to be only half correct. For the main sail I make a new one So DO NOT follow this.

    And I now see that the rope of the left "lift" needs more beeswax...

    Progress over the next few months will be slow,
    The wife (and me also) wants a new bathroom.

     

  2. Thanks for the comment, likes and following.

     

    The parrels.
    How many rows of trucks are used at the yards? I come to an average of 3 and rarely 5 at the main yard ( on galleons and carracks).

    The parrel ribs are finally succeeded and "tested"

    The trucks are leftovers of Billing Boats material (plastic) painted and polished with a paper handkerchief. And the ribs are painted.

    I will largely follow this example (the  ropework on the parrel will by challenging)20220407_191012.thumb.jpg.e6ff11ea1ef9cbb387c6950e14cb5436.jpg

    First attempt at shaping the fore sail (general test) and most blocks have been applied in the meantime.

  6. The layout is in the well-known New Vanguard style. First edition was in 2008

    By Angus Konstam & Illustrated by Tony Brian

     

    The subject is :

    The design of late medieval ships and carracks (and the Mary Rose)

    The operational history of the navy's of Henry VII and VIII

    Armament and tactics

     

    Easy to read and with beautiful photos and color prints.

    Contains general information about the subject. 
    If you want detailed information about the Mary Rose.Then this book is not suitable (my opinion).

     

    For some reason some of the photos are on their side

  7. Small update (With spring in the air, there was a lot to do in the garden).

     

    The parrel ribs give me a headache. Making them manually is a time consuming disaster... 

    20220326_154117.thumb.jpg.6dc0e6d3aaee7dc9d1d8005d9c157fb5.jpg

    So plan B, started with the big machinery first. And then later the "better" work with the file20220326_154133.thumb.jpg.4e9d2d03eca95fab476a964152f70cd3.jpg20220326_160206.thumb.jpg.fc8a75a3e8680fd0a87e79dfb163e919.jpg

     

    Blocks, work in ptogress

    20220321_190756.thumb.jpg.e1925656891bcaf94f46a76c224f8983.jpg
    Current status
    A batch of blocks  and a lot of raw material that would one day become parrel ribs
