I really liked your paintings..I'm a big fan of yours!! frank Hi Dirk...,, thanks to your build of the Alert, I can proceed with the rigging, unfortunately it won't be up to your standards, but at least I'll be able to finish it with some semblance of correctness.Your log has been a stress reliever!! :im Not Worthy: Thanks!! frank P.S.... Thanks for all the "likes"
  2. So you're an artist too..... you are an amazing talent!!!.....great work on the paintings. Frank
  3. small update....... I'm starting the bowsprit rigging....... this is pretty straight forward ... at least the plans show where the lines tie off..... wish I could say that for the remaining rigging ,, but,,not to worry...... I've got a group of guys here that really know what they're doing. frank thanks for looki'n in Frank

  11. Thats pretty funny Mark....... good thing I still have the box
  12. Thanks Augie.... but .. Oh yes I do !!!!
  13. Small update....... main sail attached to mast. this one I had to cut down some, I wish I had left a liitle more sail to work with on the top, well anyway it's done. Just have to attach a couple more blocks to the deck then then I can start the standing rigging, This ought to be fun.... they did'nt include a belaying plan .... To be honest,I do'nt have the slightest idea where half of them tie off..... so there might be some confusion goin on in the near future Thanks for looking in......... frank
  14. Thanks Lawrence..... the fun will begin to start shortly,....... tying off the ropes!! ( let's see now, where does this one go ??? ) frank
  15. Thanks Dirk..... ...a... and Popeye, for your comments,.......... now it's on to the main sail!!! frank
  16. Thanks Denis....... Now I'm hoping i can get the main mast sail to fit frank
  17. Time out for a little update.......... I,m starting to attach the mizzen and main mast sails.... the first one finished is the mizzen. the sail was a little big so I had to cut it some... unlike the yard sails that are reduced a third of their size , these are full , I thought it would be a little difficult leaving them full lenght and width, but as it turned out at least the mizzen did'nt come out too bad. I soaked it up pretty good with the glue mixture so hopefully it'll set OK . Here I'm marking were the rings will atacg to the sail the furl is complete just letting it dry up some temporarily set on deck This last one shows zip sizeings being made Thanks for ooking in Frank
  18. they're looking even better with their blocks attached frank
