I've somehow missed your updates here, Michael. What brilliant work you're doing! John -
I wondered how I missed this thread, Mark, and then realised that you started it while I was away on holiday. What a great project. I love this type of small yacht. John

She's really coming along, Popeye! John

Looking good, Augie. Just tell the Admiral that when it's finished it will go wherever you want it to go - then run like hell. John

A tricky job to get them tensioned at the correct length and at the same time not put too much pressure on the shrouds. Very nicely executed, Danny. John

Thanks Mobbsie! John

Thanks Augie. John

Time for a visit to the optometrist, Row! Probably an optical illusion, mate. John
-
Thanks for the comments, Michael and Bob! John

Yep, I'm pretty happy with the way she's coming along! John

See, I said I was getting a little more time at the museum. The outside of the the hull is now faired (although I'm bound to find minor issues as I plank) and the planking battens are in place - on with the planking! John

HMS Alert 1777 by Jaekon Lee - 1/64
Jim Lad replied to Jaekon Lee's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Hello Lee, and a warm welcome to the forum. That's an excellent start that you've made to your 'Alert'. John -
That looks like it will make a very interesting build, Wefalck. John
-
Well done, Danny - very realistic. John
-
Mark, They're pinned with bamboo trunnels (treenails) made to fit a No. 75 drill hole. John
-
Glad to have you join in, Row - and remember; the only silly question is the one you don't ask! John
-
Thanks Grant! John
-
Just catching up - she really looks first class. John
-
Top tops, Danny! John

Cheers, Michael! John

You can make the eyes from wire the same diameter as the jackstay - that should be fine - and remember - smaller is better when it comes to the size of the wire you use. Double jackstays were a feature of some of the large iron square riggers of the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. I certainly wouldn't put them on your 1850's revenue cutter. As for steel or wooden yards - the same style of jackstay was used on both. John

Thanks, Pat! John
