    Thanks Pete. As to the S / F - I think it was simply that this was the way they wrote the S which looked like a long F back in those days Good luck with your book. cheers Pat

    Hi folks, I have a follow up to the initial question. Thanasis shows the fairleads that were probably used in HMCSS Victoria in the third option of his post above. Harold Underhill confirms this and also supplies a probable fairlead rigging plan in his book "Masting and Rigging the Clipper Ship and Ocean Carrier". However, while implied in several books, there is not a clear statement made as to whether the bundles of lines leading through these fairleads go to a single belaying pin, or separate pins. The respective rigging plans suggest/imply they belay to a single pin (usually as a group/bundle of three lines, including any combination of the following - 2 x bunt lines plus one other line being either a leech, clew or downhaul). Does this make sense to have these lines (usually of small diameter cordage than other running rigging) belay to a single pin? cheers Pat

    Another interesting tid-bit Pete - you writing a book with all this research? cheers Pat

    Hi Greg, you don't muck around do you? A guy goes on a short holiday and you finish one and well into another Another interesting build you have selected and it appears you have set this one up for an extended amount of time at sea - will follow with interest. cheers Pat

    Great to see you back Alan. That tilting and lifting workstation/baseboard solution looks like it will be very useful; it was a joy watching your build log for that. cheers Pat

    A double rum issue will normally get the 'lads' moving along cheers Pat

    Neat jig Phil; looking good. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Nice recovery Phil. That is a surprise a ship of this era without feathering props :), great that you have good references to check this detail. cheers Pat

    You can also get paste solder specific to copper I think - may also help. Try a jewellers supply store; AJS in Australia used to stock it. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Very nice model well executed Tozbekler cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    The trials and tribulations of planking Steven; I am glad to see you persevering with this nice build. cheers Pat

    Nice work Chuck, those anchors sure looklike iron, and the puddening looks very neat! cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Welcome back Rexy and congrats n getting the job. Don't worry, it only took me 14 years to do my Endeavour while working - slowly but surely will get you there. The hull planking looks good. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Sorry to hear of your continued ails OC; I hope some improvement can be found for you soon. This must be very frustrating for you not being able to get to the modelling desk yet alone use the PC. regards Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Hi Phillip and Gerhard, I would leave them Phil - I am pretty sure she was fitted with a feathering propeller and the pitch would have been close to zero when not needed (such as in port or when under sail alone) - depends on how you would like to depict her. I had the same problem to contemplate when fitting the prop to 'Victoria" and ended up going for zero pitch as she will no be modelled with sails or underway. This is just a suggestion - your model, so please depict her how you wish. Nice work with the progress you have made, she is really starting to take shape. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Nice work Rowand - she is coming along very nicely. cheers Pat
