ajromano got a reaction from mtaylor in Gretel - how to furl sails
Plans are not much!
Build log coming.
Should one use bees wax when rigging?

Modified a bit. Some of the kit plan did not seem realistic and some did not fit properly.

This is basically a training kit. If I wanted truly accurate I would scratch build or get more accurate kit. (Assuming there is such a thing) This kit was on sale and had additional discount applied. Wood ships and boats are such fun to build! Very challenging.
Never rigged anything before, I have built several small boats and have current build of brig going.
Model Shipways seems to actually be a tad better, especially if one paints ship.

This looks pretty much like the kit.

This is actually a nice looking little boat, I have been almost fanatical about quality. Still missed a bit on planking, but it looks fine! Only I will notice flaws.

Seems to be close to what is called a naval sloop or Bermuda Sloop.
I am getting way this would work in real life.
Blocks attached to little brass “I bolts” seems wrong!
This is worse than model trains!

I think it is just a inaccurate kit. I will post more details later.
Thanks, I reached same conclusion or question. How to reach upper mast to secure sail.
Also I do not know all the proper terms! More reading in order 😉
