Thanks for the comments guys, it means a lot to get complements on something I have spent so long working on, I dont even care to think how many hours went into it, the sails alone took months.
Yeah no comment on the molded bow.....i pretty much carved it down with sandpaper and a exacto knife, turned out surprisingly well.

Another night of work and one foresail is in place and rigged, spanker rigging is complete and the main backstays are rigged, not much more I can do in terms of rigging, so now its on to sewing the next two foresails.
On a side note I really need to find my camera as phone images do not really show any rigging detail.
It's been nice for the last three nights doing some work that is not so repetitive a.k.a sail sewing or ratlines.

Finished off the spanker this weekend, I had a gaggle of ladies over working on various craft projects and I figure it was motivation to get it sewen.
20-30 hours to hand sew a sail, next ship I'm learning to use a sewing machine. That being said I like the hand sewen look.
Have started to rig it into place, an interesting juggling act. Particularly when the furbaby want attention and knows just how to get it
