Moving on to the footropes. I use fine wire to make them. First I drill a hole in the front of the yard to secure the rope supports

The squared off ends of the yard were missing "something" - I realized that the yard flared into the square, rather than just abruptly change. So I added some filler, I think it looks a lot better now.

Got a chance to do some more backstays. I'm spending about 1/2 hour on each one. Foremast is finished.

Over the weekend, I spent another 4 1/2 hours to get the yard to the stage you see below. I built out the squared ends and yes, there is a sheave inside. There's also 10 eyebolts, 4 wires for the stunsail irons, and of course the truss. Still need to add the footropes. The jackstay supports are .020" thread tied around them.

The chain slings for the yards are protected from chafing around the mast by being wrapped in leather, like the main stay etc.
I wrapped the chain in paper towel soaked with Elmer's and painted it after it dried with wood-color paint.

Check page 7 - my post of Oct 9th about 1/2 way down - shows the template included in the kit to set the mast rake. It's not much, but was different for each mast.
