A little update... the aft vents are tuned to the right lengths and painted. The aft mast is is rigged, the stays and backstays set and the ratlines are mounted to the shrouds. Some additional lifesaver rings are assembled Hope you are all had a nice Christmas time and Santa has delivered the one or other little surprize..... Nils about 2/3 of the boatsdeck are on (without boats) Aft mast rigging.... the vents are shortened and painted have to continue with the forward boatsdeck, right up top the command bridge area

Good morning Alex, beauitiful work your plating looks very neat, what kind of glue are you using, is it a contact type glue, or CA ? Is there a certain reason that you are plating from bow in direction stern instead of opposite direction, so the vertical overlapping is not exposed to the onstreaming water ? Nils

Little update.... started with the aftmast shrouds (no ratlines on yet), and some of the "fences" on the aft boatsdeck. The boatsdeck, seawards of the boats gets no railings later on... Nils shrouds are spaned with M1 turnbuckle screws the remaining two of the 6 turnbuckle screws on each side will take up the aft mast backstays (when the ratlines are on the shrouds) divding the aft boatsdeck with fence-like barriers, to prevent passengers from going the the boats area (without railings) The first third and the last third are almost done, now the mid section has to be further built

Thanks for showing Chuck ! very smart solution for fixing / removing Nils Nils

So beautiful, nearly unbeleaveable Chuck, how do you mount / glue the lasered rough carving to the board for doing the fine carving and sanding work on it ?, so that it is removeable afterwards without breaking the fragile artwork to pieces ? Nils

Hi Keith, thanks for your nice comment, stern anchor what for ?.... I`m sure that the answers are to be found in the four explanations adopted from the web. http://www.sail-world.com/Australia/Stern-anchors-and-four-reasons-you-should-have-one/58641?source=google.de with the stern anchor, if set correctly, it would be possible to position the stern in a way that the ship would lay more steady, and its passengers would not suffer sea sickness through rolling motions of the ship Nils
