Bowsprit nearly done,just bunt lines to do now.Next step is to attach the sails to the yards.
-
Very nice hull the start of a great ship.
-
Had a shake last night feels the same in the rental.The new house will be warmer in winter so that will be good.
-
Thanks a lot chaps,they estimate 6 months for the house but we'll see.Do some more on the ship tomorrow.
-
Well the house was demolished yesterday so doing some of the Endeavour from the rental,just started on the bowsprit sail.Next time I do sails i'll soak all of the sails at the same time to get a consistent colour.
-
Great work Popeye,as usual.
-
Great thanks a lot Henry,ron.
-
What side of the sails do the clew garnets go front or back.On my occre endeavour plans they show them on the front and on their finished ship photo they are on the front.I guess they are to hoist the sail so it depends really on which side of the sails the crew stand to hoist the sail.Thanks for any advice Ron.
-
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.
