Are you planning to 'split' the rings that support the outer bowsprit? I don't see them in the photo and at least one needs to be placed much further down the bowsprit past where you've attached a bunch of lines. I'll wait here and see what you do!

captgino Posted August 12, 2017 Author #157 Posted August 12, 2017 Backstay Adventure update. I have been a little bit lazy and did not take pictures of every steps I have taken. So sorry. Sometime you get caught up into building and thinking about the next step that you forget to take pictures. I am currently working on the back stay and will be competing it this weekend. Finger crossed. Here are a few pictures. It is getting more and more difficult to show progress as the ship is more busy.

captgino Posted August 13, 2017 Author #158 Posted August 13, 2017 Any suggestions on how to do the jib boom heel lashing? I saw different pictures and style but I am not sure which one is correct.

GuntherMT Posted August 13, 2017 #159 Posted August 13, 2017 I could be wrong about this, but I seem to remember that there was nothing in the plans or instructions about there being a lashing at all, they just used the iron bands at the heel and the end of the bowsprit. Having said that, I added lashing because I liked how it looked. So this is probably not right, but it's how I did mine. Ryland Craze, rony, coxswain and 3 others 6 Brian Mystery project coming soon!

GuntherMT Posted August 28, 2017 #177 Posted August 28, 2017 Good progress, but be careful not to pull the shrouds into each other with the ratlines. Looks like you have the middle two shrouds getting pretty tight together compared to the outer shrouds as you move towards the top. Not changing the shroud spacing is probably the most difficult part about doing the ratlines in my opinion! Elijah 1 Brian Mystery project coming soon!
