Good to see the loose ends tied up. Will you be ready for the grand reveal by Christmas?

The tension as you sprint for the line is showing (literally) in some very neat rigging. Looking forward to seeing it all come together.

I find the trick is to recognise them early and go off and do something else.
That's what fly fishing was invented for.

Love the attention to detail. As you say these things can multiply up later. Great work!

Quite extrordinary! Well done on your research Cort, and your tenacity in finding all the right props.

Like you I mostly use hand tools, and improvise with home made jigs for other tasks - I enjoy the challenge!
Well I am researching boats similar to your ketch - there is a long tradition of fishing ketches here in the south coast of England. I'm interested in the fact that they were built for the task longlining or trawling - powerful and able to work in big seas, yet fast to get the catch to market.
I hope to choose a suitable boat for a build soon.

Now you're talkin'! Looks aren't everything, as I frequently tell my bathroom mirror.

Bloody Nora (a British term meaning 'I cant believe this') Vareriy - even the famous match is too big to fit in this photo! Stupendous.

Hey Hakan, she's looking good!
Remember that every day modelling, like flyfishing, is added to your life. Very best wishes from me too.

One could add to one of the strands a length of the finest fly-tying yarn that is available in many different colours
I was just thinking that... as a fly tiers we are fortunate to have available synthetic and natural threads in a huge range of sizes and colours, from 18/0 (VERY thin) to 6/0 (you'd tie a button on with this) and everything in-between. I'm sure any modern braid could be replicated on a rope walk machine quite easily.
I must say to my (inexperienced) eye the scale is spot on Keith, and whether it's the reflection or not, it looks just great!

I'd like to know how you make the cowl vents Valeriy? Were they cast?

Me too. The remarkable thing is that as they grow up we get younger. Strange that. Great Picture Tom; you could almost field a football team there!
