Slow and monotonous they may have been John, but well worth the effort! They look great.

Looks sweet John. I wonder how rat boards compare to doing rat lines :-)

Yeah, I bet it was monotonous work but now that all the boards are on you can sit back and admire your handiwork. It's looking very nice John, great job.
Cheers,

Thanks George, and all who hit the like button. Yeah, it has paid off redoing the Port Mizzen and probably saved the ship from really looking cumbersom. I hate to think after all this work that I could have screwed it up so bad with a stupid mistake. Sometimes things are right under your nose and you can't see them.

ok, the lower ratboards are now completed all the way around. Some 400 knots later, I'm ready to move on up I guess. At least some of these will be able to be tied on the bench rather than in the air. I'm really glad the lowers are finished, it was monotonous and slow.

Foremast Lower Ratboards are now completed, which also completes the port side lowers. time to move to starboard. I can't believe I'm only half way done on this. I think I've been tying knots all my life, and now I don't know any better. Definitely monotonous, but not boring.

Mainmast Starboard side Ratboards are done. I'm happy with the end results, and glad I started doing this with the least visible side, which for me is the port side Mizzen. It seems to be improving with practice.
