Now it’s quite visible from you photo, Jason. Many thanks for replying se promptly!

Now i’m seeing a starboard (only) hole, probably for the 1mm stay..

Hi again Jason and thank you for the comment. Finally I'm seeing that I need to prepare one (or maybe two ?) additional lines for the topmast stay and preventer stay despite the fact that the plans show only one single line (no mouse, nothing to help... ) ... According to Petersson one mouse is needed for each stay and probably the "classic" procedure by "serving" the ropes... * I dont know whether you have any different opinion. * The point I can't understand till now is the way we attach and tie those lines on the bowsprit mast... Ani idea? Thank you

Hello to everyone. Just a couple of pics from my recent stages. I have finished the rigging of the bowstring mast [some details in need of touch up for later].. Next and final step: the yards. I'll start from the foremast working upwards on each consecutive mast. I've left for later only the ropes of fore and fore top-mast stay and preventer stay, just to have a better working-space for the fore mast yard. If you believe I go wrong, I'll be glad to see your comments. Cheers

I have finished all the bowsprit-mast fittings and the bowsprit rigging in general. Now I'm ready to permanently fix the whole bowsprit on the ship and deal with the gammoning. Next stop the yards and the relative rigging, starting with the stays of the foremast to the bowsprit etc. Thank you

Greetings form Greece. Another question arises for my next turns. Cant find the answer using the plans or my relative naval manuals... What's that rope-line [marked with red by me] at which line F is attached via those metal structures (rigging trucks ?). It is line B (0,50mm), line C (0,25mm I think..)? The above combination belongs to mizzen mast and main mast rigging also.. Thank you in advance.

Copy that. I'll go that way, as Joe mentioned some posts above the same. Thank you again.
-
Thank you again. To my knowledge, Caldercraft is a traditional british company. I dont know why they use such terms, but I am not familiar with specific naval terminology... Have you any idea or reccomendation about the right place to fix those tackles for the topping lifts? On the deck right below the respective belaying pin or on the channel? Regards. Stergios
-
Thank you for your comment. I'm using the terminology based in the manual of Caldercraft's Snake. That uses (and shows) the terms gaff boom and driver gaff as the upper and lower part respectively.

Hi guys. Some pics from my recent workout... Now its time to find the more right place to fix the tackle for the gaff boom topping lifts: on the channell or on the deck...

Wow, I do appreciate so much your assistance and help Joe! All the best. Stergios

Thanks Joe. I'm trying to find a relative close up view from your build log but with no results for the moment. Cheers.
-
Hi Joe. I'm back again. I'm not seeing any pre-planned place for an eybolt on the channel plans for the above named use.... Did you customize on the Cruizer channel the placement of the tackle for the topping lift? Thank you.
-
That's a good question Chris... No reply fro the mo... Cheers
-
Thank you so much Joe! Keep in touch Hi Dave. Thank you, again.
-
Thank you again Dave. I sent a relative question to Jim, I hope to help us. He finished gaff boom and gaff driver rigging so many days before...
-
Hi Jim I'm facing a problem regarding gaff boom rigging (especially topping lift and its attachments). When you'll find your time please take a look at my build pages.. Did you place eyelets on the deck around the mizzen mast to fix the tackle of the boom topping lift or did you go as Petersson p.26 plan to the mizzen channels? Thank you.
