Hi Ed......... all those straggler ropes you see have been cut off.... any running ropes that will be attached will be tagged, my memory is not bad..... but, not that good either Say hello to the Mrs. Hope everything is going well for the both of you. Have you used your new toys yet?? Hi Augie....... glad you like the color.... I used a weathering powder watered down, and brushed it on. thanks for looking in. Frank

Hi Ron........ glad you liked the way the sails came out, I made them a little fuller than i did on my Supply . Hopefuly I 'll be able to the rest of the sails to furl as nicely as the yard ones. Hi Dafi.......... thanks for looking in ,it's always a pleasure to have you on board, now, if only you could leave me a little bit of your talent I'd be happy as a pig in s---!!! Frank

Hi Denis....... I bought the sail set..... cut them down some... then furled and attach to yards. I wasn't to pleased with the fabric at first but after washing them up and coloring them they weren't too bad. Frank

Hi Denis....... Glad you liked the sails..... I too try to get as much done on yards and sails before mounting them.... so much easier that way. Thanks for looking in. Frank

Hi Tony.......... some of the blocks I purchased from Chuck's store, the bigger blocks were supplied in the kit.... I'll tell you though ,the best blocks I've seen are the ones Dirk used on his build of the Alert,they are really nice.I know it looks like a mess of ropes but I had to attach some now ,because later would have been a little difficult . Glad you liked the sails, the other ones are going to be a little harder to form. Hopefully I can get them to look presentable. Thanks for the good words!! Stay loose!! frank

Finished attaching the blocks to the mast tops and yards, I've started to attach the sails...the main top and main yard are finished........ the others will be attempted little by little ....... the following pictures will show you what I've been up too. Thanks for look'n in!! frank This brings us up to date.... thanks again!! Frank
