Landlubber Mike's technique for furled sails
Sjors replied to Landlubber Mike's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Question When you do furled sails on the jib boom and Gaff ,is that the same as what you are doing with the bowsprit sails ???? So the sail goes furled on the jib boom and goes up a little? Or am I totally wrong ? Sjors -

Thanks John and Edwin, @ John, It is a change from coppering to rigging. But can I go back to the deck planking ???? No, it has to be done..... @ Edwin, Are you sure that you are at the right build log / It is me who is building her..... And I'm not a masterly talent...... I'm just doing things and it is still right.... Sjors

Hi Rich, I follow you for a while in silence and I'm impressed with what you are doing. About the copperplates, take a look at my log about the Agamemnon I just finished the copperplates on her. Maybe it gives you any idea's. The row what goes against the waterline there are two ways to do it. One as I did it and the other one ( I believe it is common on the Victory ) lay a straight line against the waterline. Or 2 rows. Then you have a nice straight line . Sjors

I know, I should not working or thinking about the Aggy but I have a question. At the rudder post and bow post, I placed the copper tiles in vertical directions..... All the other copperplates are horizontal...... Should I do that also on the posts or can it stay like this ? If someone has an answer for me, please !!!!!!! Sjors

Wow what a respons !!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you, Randy - Grant - Adam - John - Rich - Jan - Frank - Robert - Sam - Edwin - Mobbsie - Bob - Ben - Draggz - Mark - Piet and Popeye...... I think that I have to copper a few more hulls....so who have a hull that needs to be coppered ????? @ John, You can find the link at the bottom of my posts. It is the San Ildefonso. I know that it's not the Fonz but the shorted they name Agammenon to Aggy so ( think it was Augie ) he shorted the San Ildefonso to the Fonz . Cool guy and a cool ship @ Sam, When I need to do another hull with copper ,then i will do it ! But I have to say it is boring....... I think it is better when you are doing the coppering, you do something else in between. That's ( in my opinion ) the best way to do it. @ Bob, Yes, I'm happy that it is done ! At the end you have to be careful that you are still concentrate with what you are doing . Because you did so many that it is very easy to do it wrong. Sjors

Copperplates are done !!!!! Not at the bottom of the keel because they don't do that at that time. And when she is standing on the cradle, you don't see it. For a while she goes on the shelf and I go back to the Fonz. I hope to see you there also when there is an update to report.... Sjors
