Very nice looking Yards Bob, looking foreward to seeing both foremast Yards rigged Nils -
Thats right Michael, I`ve also been thinking of that, and further of the trees required to gain the correct dimensions for all the ships timbers, masts and spars, etc, and how quickly a ship went lost in a battle or so, with all those fantastic sculptural artwork , and sent to the ocean ground Nils

Beautiful handcraft work Lee, it must be real fun to assemble all those fine looking wooden joinings, and still the view into the ship and decks below is given, love this cutter build Nils -
Hi David, although I have sometimes the very distant puff of Emotion that I`ve been in places, or seen things somewhere before, but a weaver........ no... Thanks for dropping in to my build again youre always wellcome Nils

good Progress Peter, and good looking planking, the black wale I think is just right, its in good harmonie with the hull Nils

Lawrence, thanks very much for your Kind appreciation, there are so many belayed lines in the moment, and I still have to do all the coils at the ends......, wanted to do that when all the sails are on... Nils

beautiful work Lee, stove, sailroom and deckbeams look amazing, very nicely done Nils -
Little update.... I`m at the foremast upper shrouds now and stropping all the blocks for the fore-topsail, which will come next Nils I`m rigging (Bracing) the yards at 45° angle looking a bit more dynamic with braced sails tack, sheet and brace lines not attached to the lower squaresails yet one hand for your life the other for the ship...... the third swivel (from bow) points through the lower shrouds, directly obove the swivel elevation the shroud cleats will be attached as well as an additional ratline that also fixes the cleat fastening

Hi Bob, those oval window frames, made from round brass tube look great Nils
-

very good work in Fitting the keel Mike, the contours of the lead Ballast fit neatly with the hull, I presume you can remove the lead afterwards (Access to srews seems given) Nils

Congrats Hartmut, your Pinco Genvese is looking beautiful, and with these well done lateen sails, a real enrichment to the "MSW fleet" Nils

Thank you for your words Bob, like I answered to Patrick its not confusing any more if you have a chance (plan , book, etc.) to study and understand the functions, and then go step by step Meantime I think, I`m familiar with every line type and their function for standing and running rigging on a rather small squarerigger lke this Nils
-
Steven, you have a very good looking clipper hull under way and I trust its going to be beautiful ship...... Interesting to see how many different thoughts you are passing in your mind right now..... sail making, protection-case making, toolmaking....., I`m sure you wo`nt be surprised by any unforeseen sequence of build during your journey. Great job ! Wish you much fun and ongoing success with the Flying Fish Nils

Thank you very much Patrick, Crackers, Martin, and all the "likes" I highly appreciate those fine comments, it makes me happy and self satified that my work is liked..... Patrick, The full understanding of lines and their function I studied from Lennarth Peterson`s book (only super self explaining drawings, no text). For written explaination and also drawings of the complete rigging I have James Lees book. The remaining information is from the very nice Amati set of plans. What makes my rigging here a little challenging are the functional braced yards with their sails, (max. 45° before jamming the shrouds), but this is one of the obligations I set to myself for the rigging. This means to watchout that sail operating lines do`nt foul the braced sailcloth bows neighther on weather- nor on leeward side Crackers, thanks so much for your nice words, hope you may enjoy further on, I am having much fun with the rigging.... Martin, thank you very much for your kind words, before I started with the sails (staysails first) perhaps you remember, I was unsure of the number of sails, because I did`nt find a Swan Class rigged under full sails let alone a scale 1:64 version, on the web or on MSW. Your answer at that time gave me confedence that there were 3 triangle sails only (and no extra flying jib). So it was actualy a small frigate with slightly reduced sail area. (no royals on the large masts and only a topsail on the mizzen as the only squaresail there. As I could`nt afford Antscherl`s Volume IV for crosschecking I had to take a certain risk........ Nils

Lovely work Mark Nils

Little update... Build log part 80 some impressions on rigging my Swan Class Nils again a hand scetch for belaying of the fore bits (On forecastle deck), slight changes to needs pending one of the yards....., with stirrups, footropes and Flemish horses the prerigged foresail together with its yard has been moved into place the tacks of the main topsail stay-sail will be lead over thimbles to the aftmost shroud and lower attached shroudcleats the truss tackles go down to the eyelets next to the foremast and leaves the lowest block for the sidewise attached cleat on the foremast for access to the lead blocks under the foremast platform the upmost futtock ratline has been left out until later, have to still fiddle in buntlines and leechlines there slowly the "sail picture" is rounding up... 14 of the 18 sails are on now....
