pete48 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share #225 Posted March 7, 2016 Today, I started by making the Turnbuckles, I then turned my attention to making the Blocks, I thought about this a lot and I wanted them to look more like real Blocks. I modeled these after the Harken Blocks on my boat. Another thing that I wanted was to have the Halyards in easy reach of the Cockpit rather than have them Cleated to the Mast. ( this is better for single handing the boat )I then attached the Turnbuckles and prepped the Mast for the Standing rigging. With the stays attached to the Mast, I installed the Jib halyard Block and the Blocks for the Halyards. I then ran the rope for the Halyards extra long. Next will be to finish making the blocks for the running rigging and install the standing rigging.

Piet Posted March 11, 2016 Share #234 Posted March 11, 2016 My goodness Pete, you crank these Volo boats out like nobodies business. Your original plan of using balsa wood for then planking was that done for weight considerations? Basswood seems to be a better choice though, also light and a stronger.
