Thanks for making my future build easier.

Bob R.

Rigging complete!!!  Just have the anchors remaining and some decorative copper plating.

       Bob R.

I'm going to order one next week Clare.

Bob R.

Thanks Larry. Miss you guys in SOCAL also.

Bob R.

Completed rigging forward.  Directions and plans slightly lacking in this area but I like the outcome.  Model should be complete by the weekend.

 Bob R.

Great tease Jeff. Looking forward to your sale.

Bob R.

Thanks guys. Project is nearing completion.

Rigging the sail.  Half way there.  This is a very tedious step.

   Bob R.

Setting the yard and sail.  As Clare mentioned in his blog, the setting of the sail "billow" is a challenge. 

        Bob R.

Sail rigged and ready for install.

      Bob R.

Great work as always Clare. Very interesting kit.

Bob R.

Spar complete.  Next step will be attaching the spar to the sail.

     Bob R.

Working on rigging the spar.

 Bob R.

Thanks George.

Thanks Clare.  I had every intention of driving down to Mystic on Friday specifically to attend Douglas' talk.  However, I could not justify the cost.  I wish they would allow a breakdown in cost of the speakers. 

Anyway, still plugging along.  I relashed the mast and have started on the spar.

A few more pics.

Been a while since I updated.  Moving along steadily.  Yesterday the mast was lashed on and decorative copper plates were added.  Tried to have it all done by the NRG conference but failed.  Was unable to attend the conference anyway.

 Bob R.

Glad to see you back. I wondered what happened to you. It was only 2 years.

Bob R.

Outstanding! You have outdone yourself once again.

Bob R.

Good detailing with the black coppering. I like the contrast.

Bob R.

Thanks Clare. I will play around with a few different glues. I used CA Zap a Gap on the few copper pieces I installed. Currently planning on using the provided sail.

Bob R.

Working on the mast and additional hull details.  The mast is comprised of over a dozen parts and is a nice little kit in itself.  I finally got to install some of the copper etching also.  Clare, what kind of glue did you use to install the copper pieces?

       Bob R.

Looking great Clare.

   Bob R.

Finished planking the bow section.  Have a few coats of Minwax to apply then on to the masting and rigging.  Added the obligatory messy shop photo.  Waiting for a rainy day to clean the shop.

I checked out your build log Skip.  Looking great.  Hope you can also add a build log to MSW.

       Bob R.

Thanks. Glad to be of help Skip. Do you have a build log going?
