    Hi Jan, I have another or one more question about rigging of the sails. On this "Prins Willem", when hanging the lower sails from the yards, where do the bottom lines, that come from the bottom corner of each sail attach to? Cheers, John.

    Hello Amateur, Since I started the prins Willem by "Corell", about two years ago, I have been watching this site for some time. The rigging is almost done. Now I got the notion that it does not look complete without some sails. I know that I should have gotten the sails before doing most of the rigging. There were problems getting the sails. Now I have a question that you may be able to answer for me. What is the function of these "main yard stunsails booms", on the lower main and fore mast that are running parallel to the main yard? How do they attach or work with the sails? Any useful explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. John.
