    Now with the lines belayed. I've finally finished a part of the ship after 10 years! Lots to go I know, but it is certainly a milestone.

    I actually found some really nice long scissors at the two dollar shop.  They can't even cut paper but with judicious bending of the tips they are great for snipping off lines.

    Greg,
     
    if you're looking for surgical tools, try a veterinarian site instead of searching 'surgical'.  They're sometimes much cheaper.

    Rigging the spiritsail yard. Lots of rope required, but it works out quite well. I can't yet complete the clue lines as I've run out of blocks and I'm awaiting more.

    The final bits on the main and fore yard, the braces, clue lines and tacks. the clue lines are somewhat difficult, as Parkin says it has three blocks, but AOTS says it is two blocks and a knotted rope.

    Stunning day here in Canberra, so I thought I'd take the old girl outside to help with photos. The Fore mast main yard bunt and slab lines done. Braces and clue lines to go.
     
    The pin rails look messy but will be covered up with rope coils later and the tricing lines for the yard tackle will be tied off later too.

    The Tricing lines! The book shows the blocks attached to the 5th stay but belayed to the 1st and 2nd stay. I did it, and it just did not make sense, so i removed and re attached them to the first and second stay as the run is so much better.
     
    The actual run of the tackle block is tied off and i intend to actually add a bundled line at the end when finished but I've tied it off to get it out of the road. I will wet it with diluted glue then to given it the appearance of droop.
     
    I wont add the port side tricing lines until the end as it will just get in the road as i intend to have a boat slung from the tackle.
