Hennie Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share #182 Posted February 11, 2017 @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....

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).

Hennie Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share #205 Posted May 1, 2017 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. Ondras71, Barbossa, Sjors and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
