And the last step. We fix the thick thread to our "chief" thread and pull it in in place of the pulled out threads. I had to skein the pulled-in thread, because I couldnt fing the thread of the required diameter.That's how I did it.
-
The next step. Since the threads in batiste are packless and not strong I couldn't manage to put in the threads with their help all at once. So I had to make a transit step - put in the "chief" thread, with the help of which i pulled in the pulled-in threads.

Greetings Keith.Taking into the consideration the gained experience, the technology is the following. Mark the width of the cloth. And draw out several threads. In my case I had to pull out five threads. It depends on the width of the tread you want to put in in place of the taken out ones, and , of course of the size of the sail. We need to pull 5 threads out, leave in place 2, one of them will be used to put in place the "chief" thread, and the second will be left as a backup - in case the first one will break. If you manage to pull the thread in without tearing it, this second one will have to be pullled out.

The second version.I had to redo it several times. The first time the material wasnt right - when I madeeverything and dyed it, the batiste turned out to be too transparent. I had to redo using a more dense one.

Greetings my dear colleagues,Let me please present some of the results of my experiments on making the sails. I have tried two technologies, one by Shevelev, which I already used while working on the "La Jacinthe", and the other one by Bikov. After the studying the results, I opted for using the last one. I have been practicing on making the mainsail.

While the hull is drying, I decided to coat the deck with tung-oil. What can I say - the tung-oil is thicker than the oilseed oil. I richly coated the deck, the absorptivity is nice. My expectations that the deck would have lighter color weren’t fulfilled, but the aging effect was quite nice. I coated it in one layer, i think i’ll leave it at that, but it would be seen after polishing.

I oil-coated it, I decided to coat the hull with linseed oil, hoping it would give a darker color than tung-oil on the deck.

I have finished the nailing of the broadsides. I opted for the brass of 0,6 mm, and tried to make the nail-heads a little dome shaped.
