RGL got a reaction from clearway in HMB Endeavour by RGL -FINISHED - Artesania Latina
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.

Progressing with the main yard, and along Frolich's method, I'm adding the running rigging as i go. With knotted ends, I've added the leach and bunt lines though the lead blocks. The hardest part of all of this is belaying them at the moment. The lead blocks run forward and the AOTS plans have them belayed beside the belfry which some idiot forgot to add a point to .

I've finally got all the sundry blocks ready to go for the main and fore yards. I noticed when i added the lifts that gravity plays no part in these small ships, so i have used the slab line to act as gravity and will brace the lifts and jeers.

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.

I've finally got all the sundry blocks ready to go for the main and fore yards. I noticed when i added the lifts that gravity plays no part in these small ships, so i have used the slab line to act as gravity and will brace the lifts and jeers.

The Gaff's running rigging. whilst it will be bare poled, l've decided to add as much running rigging as possible.

Attaching the yards to the masts. I thought I'd start front to back then thought that the braces would just not work unless I went the other way around. It makes for ease of access at least. The two main yards lash up quite well but it is tricky getting the parrels attached. the mizzen mast uses rope slings which become fiddly when lashing then through an eyehole.

From sticks to very complex sticks. The yards are now complete, with over 107 stropped blocks by back is a little sore.

The last one! The cross jack yard. The little ring on the block is for the clew line.

The fore and main topsail yards complete. Only 3 to go and only one of them had blocks.
