All of the rigging except The Braces have been completed. This is the last of the rigging, then the Cutting Stage and adding and lashing the boats to finish her up. Gotta' go to Mexico for 2 weeks for some dental work so that'll give me some time to catch up and get organized...such a concept!! Details for this last work is on my website for anyone interested.

Hi Greg, I use the following tools to maneuver around the rigging. I take my time moving around, since a second saved here could be an hour of trying to fix things. I still knock things off and break things - it's part of the fun! I knocked n "upside down" block off a few days ago and wasn't sure I was going to get it to re-glue therefore, having to rip something out....but CA Glue and Accelerator fixed that - lucky. The worst thing can be "kinky" lines that remember their coil...hard to stretch and hard to keep out of everything in it's path. Just gotta be careful my friend - and patient. Good luck.

For the most part on Thanksgiving - I Ate!, however, I did manage to get a few things done in the shipyard...somehow???? I finished the remaining Bowsprit items, bowsprit net, furling stops and footropes. This completes the Bowsprit Rigging. I still need a couple of downhauls on the stays yet before moving on to the braces. Details on my website.

Yesterday and today I managed to finish all of the yards and their rigging. Here is the overall photo and for those interested in the detailed construction can go to my website for details. The end is definitely getting closer, still have the braces and some rigging on the Bowsprit yet, then the cutting in stage and finishing details including mount and securing the boats.

Well today I managed to get a few things done. The Fore Lower Yard is completed. I got it rigged, mounted and squared with the lifts. Been a busy day, as any of you that got a drawplate from me as they got shipped out today. Still 2 left. The chain sheet lines are an interesting feature of how this ship was rigged as well as the double topsail sails. Three yards to go. Hard to believe they will be the last physical parts to be installed....The end is really approaching....then what????? Details once again are on my website for anyone interested.
