Thanks Don,i'm using the kit supplied sails they look pretty good,just got them soaking in tea at the moment. -
I see what you mean by the clew garnets,some of the rigging instructions are guess work but if I go over them enough i'll understand it.
-
Thanks a lot Denis and Chris,i did forget the mouse on the stays but only I will know that.I think if I tried the trampoline I would go straight through it.Looking forward to putting the sails on should be a new experience,i've only done furled sails before.Ron.

Some good progress the last few days,standing rigging done,attach the sails to the spars next.

Good decision,and mine looks good from a couple of metres away not a couple of feet.Anyone at home that sees it just think it's a stupid hobby,at least I like it and am only building it for me to be proud of.

More aftershocks not as strong but you never know.Standing rigging is going well,onto the main mast tomorrow.
-
No worries here just shaken up a lot,the endeavour did well.some people got thrown over no reports of loss of life or damage yet, looks like more rocks came down in redcliffs sumner.

Just had a 5.9 earthquake shook the hell out of the house 30km deep just by the coast nearby.Getting the house rebuilt next month anyway.
-
All the ratlines are done,i find it quite relaxing and easy compared to most other things.I'll attach the bowsprit next much easier doing the rats without it there.Don't you hate it when trimming the ratlines you cut through the main shroud line and yes you do it more than once,oops.

Hi Max before you re-do anything have a look at google images under Endeavour full sails,looks like some photos do have lines going forward.ron.
-
Don't worry Max you followed the instruction sheet it does show them going forward.Have a look at other finished Endeavour builds to see how they have done it.ron.

Great job on the sails and good luck for the shrouds,i must say I like doing shrouds when you get a good result.Merry xmas and happy new year.I'm in Kenya on holiday for a month so my Endeavour workers are on leave until next year.

Hi Greg,By the last one the novelty had worn off.Just the topmast rats etc to go after more deadeyes arrive.
