Started to install and rig the yards.

The jib halyard is secured to the deck with a tackle while the fore sail hallyard is secured directly to the winch cross piece.
-
Bowsprit shrouds are done.

Thank you so much for the likes. I started rigging of the bowsprit. The traveller which I made from scratch was put on the bowsprit and the rope connections were made according to the drawing in the Alert Book.
-
I prepared the bowsprit and mounted it together with the windlass I had made before.

Hi, Just found your log. I am also building Cutter Alert from scratch. I found your work very successful. I will be following you as it is a work that I can inspire.

Thank you so much Bruce. Yes, the knee problem is really disgusting. It stole almost 1.5 months of my life from me.

Dear friends, I had to take a break for a while due to a health problem in my knee, but I'm fine now and I'm back at my shipyard. The boom and some details are done.

Started preparing and installing the yards.

Thank you so much.

Mainstay and preventer stay are in place.

The ratlines done.

The shrouds have been completed. I decided to add pin racks instead of cleats on the shrouds.

I completed the rigging of the tiller.
-
I have prepared the mainmast and topmast.

Thanks for stopping by, Jorge. Merry Christmas to you too. This build has two layers of planking. I glued the planks to the first layer and to themselves with super glue. But before attaching, I made the necessary tapering and bending of the planks.
-
The pumps are ready.
-
Rob, thank you very much for your interest. Yes, the larger scale is more advantageous in terms of detail work.
-
Thank you so much Tobias.

The deadeyes have been installed.

Thank you Allan. I know very little about the history of ship equipment and I can't say that I have done much in-depth research. I'm just trying to stick to the drawings in Goodwin's Alert book for my model. If I just think logical about what you're talking, I think that a single and a double block should have been used for the larger cannons, and two single blocks should have been used for the smaller and lighter cannons.

The ladders done.
