Nice job on the cathead Rob!! Rick

Nice job on the anchor release mechanism! I went with a more simple version, just a bar that could be pulled back to release the chainRick

Wonderful job Jared!!! Congratulations on a job well done!! Very nice to see the quarter boats mounted on their davits, I intend to do the same . Now I have a much better idea of what they will look like! Both you and George are to be commended for finishing the build! The pressure is definitely on me now to also finish!! Rick

Well, as the end of summer approaches, work on the FF has progressed. I finally rigged the mizzen Spencer and spanker booms. Ran into a problem with the run of the peak halyard as the mizzen top prevents a direct run to the appropriate belaying pin. This necessitated belaying the halyard 8 pins aft. I checked the measurements of the top and they were spot on. I also moved the throat halyard aft to be symmetrical with the peak halyard. The topping lifts were belayed to the spider band, while the spanker sheets were belayed to the mooring bits. I kind of made up the belaying on the bits as I not sure how this was done. Also added some rope coils. The topsail yard was added to the topmast and the topgallant shrouds installed and the topmast placed on the mizzenmast. The topsail yard chain halyards and the topgallant chain sheets were also rigged. The tails of the lanyards were finally secured to the last up leg as per the USS Constitution. Finally, the rat lines were installed on the lower shrouds.

George, congratulations on your new job! Good luck!! Had to laugh when I saw the picture, as I have been on board her! The Mather! Lived outside of Cleveland for 36 years, in Mentor, lake county, before moving to Maine full time in December, 2019! My daughter and her husband still live there. Would love to meet you next time we are in town! Rick

Welcome back Rob! Model looks great! Rick

Totally agree Rob. Jared, we all make aesthetic decisions based on what we know and what we think looks good/ correct. I will choose to mount the booms in their irons, the traditional way to display them. Not right or wrong, just personal preference. The model looks great!!! Rick
