As can be seen in the Parisian model of La Créole, Petrejus' "The Model of the Brig Irene" shows that the futtock shrouds, coming from above, run upwards around the lower shrouds and downwards again in front of the futtock shrouds. In La Créole, the ends of the futtock shrouds run over three ratlines and are fastened with three tapes. It is also interesting that the ratlines in this area are under the futtock shrouds. Source: E.W. Petrejus "The Model of Brig Irene" p. 192 At first sight one could assume a mistake of the model maker. However, after extensive research I can state for myself that obviously both types of design must have existed here, at least continental. Therefore I orientate myself also with this detail at the Paris model. In connection with the catharpins, the futtock shrouds were placed alternately on both sides and only attached as an aid to make corrections.

Today I came across this building report by chance. Since I myself am very interested in French shipbuilding, I am very pleased to see such a beautifully built hull from the Le Cerf. In the meantime I have also looked at several of your models and admire your skills. Therefore I am sure that the Le Cerf will be a wonderful model.

@druxey @davec Hi, thanks for the positive feedback, and also all the others for the LIKES. Slowly I work my way up the shrouds of the main mast with the ratlines. Today I want to give some details about the ratlines. Often pictures show more than words can describe. I hope that it is the same in this case. Enjoy the pictures:

Hi Greg, the masts and tops look fantastically good. An absolutely clean and precise work. Do you also use steel wool for the finishing ?
