Jay Sorry to hear your boat trip turned into a bus trip. Mother nature always seems to have plans of her own. WHile you were gone we also went on vacation. We went to the Beaches Resort in the Turks and Caicos. Great time. Only complaint ....We had to come home!

Bob I left the red strip off. I was afraid with the copper tape I would not get a good seal and have some bleed through. Thats just the way I did it.
-
Coppering looks great. That is one job that is nice to have out of the way.
-
Well I finished the spritsail yard and the gaff boom and spanker boom Now all have do is make line and then onto the rigging part
-
Good looking rigging Jim. As soon as I finish my yardarms I will ship my Conny over to you so you can rig her for me
-
I finished the topgallent and royal yardarms Here are all the yardarms. Now on to the spritsail yard, spanker boom and spanker gaff.

The foot rests are a nice touch.

Thanks for posting your build log. Your cross section looks great.

Good move on your part. If it bothers you now it will bother you forever. The one thing I learned from this list is that there is no shame in doing things over. When you check out the scratch build logs you see a lot of great work on do overs. I am sure you Al San Francisco will turn out great

my wife is also a quilter and often comes up with some good ideas. Thanks for the post -
I know how you feel. After changeing a lot of the kit parts I feel like I might be ready for a scratch build.

I finished with the top sail yards. I did use smaller eyebolds and rods for the jackstays. I will folllow the same procedure the remaining yards. THe higher I go the smaller the eyebolds adn rods for the jack stays. Now on to the top gallant and royals. The smalller the yards become it is more time consuming to shape the yards.
-
Steve I think you might be a little confused on the boats. I don't think there are any belaying pin racks in the boats. The tholes? are for for the oars and are mounted on the cap rails. Here are two pictures that might explain it better for you Hope this helps.

Good to see you back working on the Conny. I really like your stand. I did the same thing with the eyebolts, I used wire instead of styrene.
-
Thanks for the information Kurt
-
Glad to see you back to work on your Conny. The coppering looks great. One small hint. Copper the rudder at the same time, that way all the copper will age the same and be the same color.
-
Jay Rigging looks great as usual. Hope you and wife wife havea great trip and look forward to your progress when you return.
-
