I've started to add the yards and the yards jeers/tyes on the fore mast.
For the fore topgallant yard the plans showed the line attached like this.
I then pinned the yard to the mast and secured it with a strand of parrel beads.
The fore topsail yard was also pinned to the mast and secured with a double strand of parrel ribs and beads.
And finally the fore yard was added pinning it to the mast and then rigged per the plans.

Just caught up with your build Glenn! Excellent job on the planking.
It's a perfect example of Chuck's "slow and steady" approach!

Thanks Rob. I'm chugging along looking at the plans, other logs and just trying to make it look good.
I look forward to seeing your progress.

I should get back and finish Flirt but I can't tear myself away from Winchelsea
I know what you mean. I love this build but I'm exhausting all of my patience to finish up the DOK's rigging!

Very nice work Reg!

I agree with Yves and Chris to leave the cradles off if you don't fit the boats.

Thank you Glenn, Derek and DocRob. This is the model I've done that had crowsfeet and I too really like the look.
I've now added the all of the stays and preventor stays.
Here is an example of the blocks used in some of the rigging. These are for the fore topmast preventor stay.
And here is the bocks in place for the fore topmast preventor stay.
And some overall picture of the completed stays.
Thanks for stopping by!

Nice catch. For whatever reason I did a similar thing before. Much better to find it now than in the middle of planking.

I've served the main and fore stays and mounted them per the plans. After reviewing other logs,
(Glenn's DOK and Ron's Sphinx) plans and pictures I made my first attempt at rigging the crowsfeet.
There were a few false starts, twisted and knotted line that had to be untangled numerous times,
I finally completed the first of three crowsfeet.
Thanks for stopping by!

I've started working on the five stays. The all of the stays have a mouse on them. I've seen others make the mouse from a dowel which I copied. I drilled a hole down the center just slightly larger than the line, sanded them to shape, cut them off and painted them. I then served the lines below where the mouse will be. I then made the eye seizing it and sliding the mouse into place.
Here you see the fore preventor stay and mouse in place.
Here are the fore and main preventor stays and the mizzen stay. Next I'll add the main and fore stays and then three sets of crowsfeet!

Hi Bob. I'm sorry to hear that you're having a tough time with your health.
Once you start getting healthier and more parts arrive, I'm sure your enthusiasm will return!

Hi Glenn, B.E. and the other Glenn . I agree, it just takes me getting to it and staying focused.
Hmmm wait a minute that's me about most things!
