I think perhaps Barbara may be referring to the 'iron truss' that replaced parrels for the lower yards? Can you confirm please Barbara? See below which is an illustration by Harold Underhill in his Masting and Rigging Clippers and the Ocean Transport - Fig. 47. If so, there are some useful photos and illustrations available, but I have yet to find any useful guidance on the dimensions, especially the gap formed by the 'U' part - this gap allowed the upper masts to be struck through the resulting hole created when fitted to the yard. Some had a single joint/knuckle (hinge), others were double jointed to allow better clearance of the yard. when swung. As illustrated, they were usually incorporated as part of the lower futtock band. I do not know what type the 'Morgan' may have been fitted with? cheers Pat

Very much up to your very high workmanship; a delight for the eyes. cheers Pat -
I think you may have started a new method for doing furled sails They look great, even up close. cheers Pat

I know that feeling only too well Keith. Very nice details to your launch, I particularly like that little engine/power derive. cheers Pat
-
Very nice work Brian; as Keith says, if you call this 'little progress' well .... Impressive detail. cheers Pat
-
John, many thanks for the explanation; I have learned something very interesting today. Appreciated. cheers Pat
-
hi John, ditto comments above - congrats to the team; the project is coming along very nicely and the additional detail in the photos is great to see. You have me somewhat confused though with the naming of the aux boiler. I am more familiar with that being the 'Donkey' boiler; not saying 'Doctor' is wrong, just wondering how you arrived at that name? Enquiring minds and all cheers Pat

Hi Peter, that's what I went with. Some ships crews may have painted the head part a little more ornately, but I just went for plain red ochre for the windlass stands and the heads. cheers Pat
-
Agree with Mark, the idea and construction of that mannequin is a very clever idea. Robotic or not, it is a great way to visualise the ergonomics and rowing techniques. cheers Pat
-
The heads may have been painted anyway Peter, that was my choice anyway :). You're making good progress and I like that 'brown stuff' bottom.. cheers Pat

As with many 'exercises in frustration' Steven, persistence provides a great result. Slowly but surely the refit proceeds. You must be pretty happy with these results? cheers Pat

I love the simplicity of design for the display stand Greg; the stamp tops it off. cheers Pat
-
Michael, I think you may be a little tough on your efforts in saying you were not happy with the lay/fit of the garboards - I think you have done an exemplary job of it. cheers Pat

Very nice Rob, that rigging is looking great. I particularly like the effect you have generated with the furled and weathered sails. I also work from aft-to-fwd; for me that allows me to bring the appropriate amount of tension on the backstays, stays etc as I progress forward - but more importantly, I found that if I rigged the bowsprit/jibboom first that I was constantly knocking it . As Druxey says; each to their own and whatever works for you. cheers Pat

Nice work Steven, those new deadeyes look good, and as you stated, the whole arrangement looks a lot neater. cheers Pat

You never fail to impress with your skills Bitao; lovely work as usual. cheers Pat -
Great foundation for the frames; the sore neck will be well worth it Michael. cheers Pat
-
A great way to display the model Rob, it is unique, has historical and practical relevance. cheers Pat

Glad to hear the info was of use. I am sorry that I was not able to provide a summary of all the info I had collected here myself, but 'life' is getting in the way at the moment. Thanks John for posting this. cheers Pat
