    The research I have done showed that the Fore and main yards were braced with tackle from the topgallants when lowering a boat or heavy load. There was a sling attached to the yard to take the hook.

    I have re varnished the base and attached the pedestals. I also use some brass rods to act as support struts to hopefully keep the ship from future cat tipping

    Job complete. Very little of the AL kit was used, and as I said to my 10 year old last night, I started this when you were a baby, it's now in this glass box and you can do whatever you want with it after I'm dead, as it's not going anywhere.

    Well done Greg, she's looking fantastic, you should be very proud.
     
    For the title change, i think you go to the very 1st post and click edit although I might be wrong.
     
    Looking forward to what you do next.
     
    Cheers

    The very last bits, after 10 years, order the flags from BECC in the UK, 5 days all up to OZ

    Beautiful ship, Greg!  Nice repairs!
     
    It's amazing any of our ships survive the build.  I had just finished rigging the Constitution and was attaching the stern flag, when my roommate flew into the to grab his keys off the table I was working on and snapped the bowsprit clean off!  Took me days before I could even look at it.  A few weeks of work and she was fine.
     
    Congratulations!

    The last of the ships boats. I scratch built the outside back in mid 2011 when I did the others, but as I am facing extensive cat damage again I thought I'd get i over and done with so I could do the rigging in one hit.
     
    I have run off the AOTS's longboat including Windlass and Cable Cleats.
