  1. mnl, how would you get even a smaller spinnaker pole from starboard to port and vice versa?

     

    I think the spinnaker pole may be sort of an optical illusion, and that the other side of the spinnaker, obscured by the half facing the camera, actually extends backward and that we are looking at the side of the sail. That would mean that the spinnaker pole does not extend out of view, but rather is smaller than it looks. 

  2. This is the racing yacht "Westward" built in 1910:

    I am having a lot of trouble identifying a sail on the vessel, the slack sail that seems to be mounted on the main topmast stay and whose clew seems to rig to the mains'l boom. How is it rigged? what is its name? Any help is much appreciated. 

     

    Also, a nagging afterthought: How does a spinnaker tack?

    Welcome to MSW Iron Hands.   Hope your touch is lighter in actual practice when working on your model😀

    You may very well be the youngest member here and it is great to see.  I hope you can deal with over 40,000 new teachers and maybe half as many different opinions at times.   Truth is we are all still learning, even though many of us have run the guantlet many times already.

    Hahahahaha! Warhammer is something i would very much enjoy if i could afford a 3d printer. I used to buy and paint the models until they became too expensive for sustainability.
