Thank you all for the likes and for stopping by! One rough stitched set of sails: Next up, reefing points and bolt ropes!

Very nicely done! -
Congratulations! Well done!
-
Looking forward to seeing this build! Are you going to carve your own decorations for this one, like you did on your Soleil Royal?
-
Incredible work!
-
Making progress: The main sail still needs reefing lines and a bolt rope, but I’ll assembly line those and do all of them at once.

Very nicely done!

Thank you all for the “likes” and for stopping by! I am still working on the main sail slowly. I decided today that I am also going to make bolt ropes. I keep improving and getting more in depth with every model.

Ingrid And Other Studies is $21 plus $14 shipping on Abebooks Plate V of the History Of American Sailing Ships by Howard I Chapelle shows a single seat of ease to either side of the bowsprit, on the head, on the Prince De Neufchatel. Please ignore my notes. This was my copy that I used to build the hull of my model.

Congratulations! Best of luck!

Still busy, but Hannah is back in work. I’ll be back to working on Victory soon enough.
-
My method for making sails: I have a sewing machine that I have never used. When I get around to finishing the Victory I’ll learn how to use a sewing machine.

Fore and aft sails templates test fitting: I adjusted the jib sails a bit to allow a bit for variation due to rescaling errors. I still need to make a template for the fore top sail. The rigging is one of my favorite parts of the model. Detailing/fitting out the hull is my other favorite part.

I think that Hannah is ready for sails and the running rigging. I do not think that I have missed anything. I do know that next time I need to plan out the running rigging better. If I am going to use one of the plans from the Hahn books or an AOTS, then I need to study a better belaying plan, or generate my own, and plan accordingly. Thankfully, this was a schooner and not a larger warship. I need to install deck blocks BEFORE I put in masts and standing rigging. Oops. Oh well, lol. We will call this one a lesson learned. I share it to help others avoid making the same mistake. On to sails!
-
Mark, Well done on the carvings! The Belle Poule is looking great!
-
The jib stay is back up: The standing rigging is back to being finished. Time to finish installing the rest of the blocks for the running rigging. Then, it will be time to make sails!
