So here's all the flags, ready to be attached.

Um..... I think a football field is 100 yards, or 300 feet. This model has over 3x the length of a football field.

And an overview of the whole model. All that's left are the flags, and I think I'll put a figure or two on her.

Over the weekend, I attached the port jib sheets from the cathead through the sheet block to the bitt, and did the port whisker shrouds. 6 more lines to go (starboard) and she's done!

One you putty and paint, no-one will see those odd planks. Good work! Nic

So the jib halyards are done. While documenting where I belayed the lines, I was curious as to exactly what each jib sail was called. Wikipedia to the rescue, here's their take: Schooners typically have up to three jibs. the foremast one sets on the topmast forestay and is generally called the jib topsail, a second on the main forestay is called the jib, and the innermost is called the staysail. Actually, all three sails are both jibs and staysails in the generic sense...... A large square-rigged ship typically has four jibs, but could have as many as six. From forward to aft, these sails are called; Jib of jibs Spindle jib Flying jib Outer jib Inner jib Fore (topmast) staysail

The Notman plans are part number 1894P. There are 6 sheets for $60 plus S&H. Call 207-548-9970 and ask for either Nic or Trisha, we'll take care of you. Nic

That is not true. We sell our plans all the time. Someone must have misunderstood what you wanted.

All the bowsprit chains and forestays finished. What's left are the 3 set of stays on the whisker pole (still to be attached) and all the outhauls and downhauls for the jib sails.

And with very few cuss words, the blocks were added. The black band above them is called a barn door, and prevents the glut from popping forward. The glut is what holds the topmast in place.

So I had to put 2 blocks underneath the foremast trestletree. Problem is. how to work under the top and see what you're doing? Answer: Lay the model on its side over foam padding. now I can get to the area I need to.

Of course, we have found a few things which need to be addressed. If you run into one, please let us know. With 1,400 web pages there were bound to be a few oops. Nic
