@B.E and @Piet

Thank you both :) :)

 

A small update....

The first yard (and the biggest one) is in his place. Just like Sjors I used a brass pin to put it on the mast in the first place. When using the ropes to put the yard against the main mast, I will damage the whole thing. I only have two hands, so thats almost impossible. I will use ropes later.

 

Some pictures....

No update this sunday. I have to redo some rigging because I am not satisfied how it looks now. I have also to do some repairs. Its almost impossible not damaging something, because there is no room left for my big hands:(:(

@Eric,

Thx Eric for your kind words:)

 

And finally an update;

I FINISHED MY AGGY!!!!!

She is not on her place yet. I ordered a mahogany shelf and 4 bronze dolphins to put her on. Those things have to come from Italy, so it will take a while. But when she is in het final place, I will take more pictures.

Thank you all for for your very kind words. Feels a bit sad... She kept me busy for over 6 years (with some breaks), but the last 2 years it was a daily job. But........I already ordered my dreamship which I always wanted to build one time: The Sovereign of the Seas (from Mantua/Sergal). When all goes well, this kit will arrive this month and than you are all welcome on my new building log.

Hi all,

 

First of all, thx for all the kind words!

 

After six years my Aggy finally found her way home....

I want to thank you all for all the commends and advices and of course all the likes! I am still waiting for my next project, the Sovereign of the Seas (Sergal). When all goes well, it should arrive this week, but I am afraid it will take some more time. Looks if they send my order to the planet Saturnus.....

 

As promised some pictures. As you can see, I did some repairs. I fixed that nasty angle in the top stay.

She looks absolutely stunning Hennie, that sideboard she sits on really does make her stand out. Can I ask how the dolphin mounts are placed, does the aggy just rest on them or are they fixed to her?

 

kind regards
