Good job Jared. I'm surprised there are no pennants for the topsail to main course yards........? It's getting pretty hectic now....isn't it? Imagine if you added 3~4 bunt lines with their blocks to each yard as well..... At this point, I'm sure you are beginning to think about a case and home for her. Rob

Thanks guys.... I can regain my focus and clarity. Last couple of days I've been distracted by home repairs. My sweetheart wants to redesign the master bedroom in the French country style. Good thing I know where to keep my focus. I'll be getting back to Staghound soon. Sneaking in a little work hear and there...... Rob

I'm all over that Rich...Those mooring howes, I mentioned......several of them are opposite the cavil's fairleads. I have all four located and they will all be addressed in my *from stem to stern* approach. Just inboard of them will be the double wooden bits. I will not be addressing the forecastle any time soon.....that will get its own attention, all by itself, .....at a later appointment. Thanks for keeping me honest......and reminding me of past wrestle-ings. Staghound was McKay's first clipper.....so I am sure she had plenty of robust wooden mooring fixtures. Rob

Thanks everyone for the fine well wishes and encouragement. Pain free for over two days....I feel ready to get back into the shipyard. Onto the fore fife rail. Once done with all the fife rails....I will go back to the stern and begin adding another layer of details, moving forward. This way I can keep track of the individual details without having to go back and add them later when it is less advantageous. Namely; bumpkins, cleats, bits, mooring howes, hand rails, and a myriad of eyebolts and their purchase blocks. ( Boom braces, foot of masts and such). So much to plan for and pre-think out. Rob

Thanks Rich. I’ve been prescribed a liquid stone resolver called “StoneCrusher”. It’s supposed to aid in dissolving the terrorists. We’ll see how that works. Im happy how Staghound is coming along. I’ll make the fore fife rail ……. Then head back aft to work on finishing up the poop deck details. Rob
