I had the same thought as Ronald-V when looking at the last photo in your post, Gregg. It depends on where the hole for the spacer is on the left side of bulkhead 17 is to see if it will fit when flipped. If it is to the inside, as the right side hole is, then trimming the tab seems to be your only choice (unless you want to try cutting a square hole in bulkhead 17 to allow the tab to fit where it wants to go. Your fix for bulkhead 16 should hold just fine. Nice work and photos, as always. I love the kit design that supplies the spacers and places to put them, maybe other kit companies will take note! Bob

Congratulations on a well-executed and well documented - and beautiful - model. Gregg. I have very much enjoyed watching her come to fruition and your thoughtful commentary along the way. With winter coming and more inside time I am hoping to finally re-start my effort, although I'll be thinking "Wish I'd done that as well as Gregg did". Also looking to see where you go next and will be following along there - I think I hear the Conny calling Bob

Looks very good, Gregg. I like that you brought the gaffs down to the boom. So many of the sail-less schooners I see raise the gaff to where it would be with the sails installed which looks a bit strange to my eye. Actually seeing your rigging choice gives me yet another alternative to consider - this should add another couple of years to my analysis paralysis! If you would like to elaborate on the difficulties you had with the silkspan, I'd love to hear about it. I am convinced that this is the sail material to use, and I am almost decided NOT to sew anything. I can understand that you may not want to clutter your log with this info, so don't feel bad about not responding. Great photos and explanations, as usual! Bob

That's an interesting thought. I suppose it's possible, but I think it would make adding the sails more challenging. Great, one more thing to mull over - this should hold me up another two years Bob

That is some very nice work, Gregg! I can't wait to hear what you decide on the sails. My own debate on that has kept my Bluenose in limbo going on 11 years now. Sails? No sails? Cloth sails? Silkspan sails? Maybe your decision will inspire me at last! Bob

That is a superb job of attaching the sails and making them look lifelike! You are really raising the bar with your fine work. Bob

That is some more nice work. I hear your concern about the waterline marker. I recall sticking a pencil between two heavy Cisco certification books and dragging the levelled hull past it. I also recall not being happy with the result and retaping and painting by eye to fine tune things. As with all things Bluenose, take your time, rework as needed until you are happy with the finished product. Bob

Now I'm going to have to review my miscellaneous rigging hardware placement. I am sure I missed the eyes between the shrouds, and some of the other details may be a bit week. A great reminder to keep checking everything! Bob
