Nice rigging work Danny, you mentioned once that you may be rigging some sails....... is this still valid ? Nils -
beautiful work Thomas, Nils

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

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

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
