This post is about the final stages of the ship's boat, I won't bother you with a bunch of chatter and explanations, however, if you have any questions please ask. I will be happy to answer, even though it maybe just made up. Here we go: There are a few flaws but as they say "she is good enough for me and the girls I go with".

marktiedens Posted July 25, 2017 Share #519 Posted July 25, 2017 A beautiful little ship you have built. Just one question - would the ship`s boat be stored on deck where you show it? Seems like it would be a bear to work around taking up one whole side of the deck.

donrobinson Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share #521 Posted July 25, 2017 Hi Mark, Thanks for the compliment. It is very crowded on the boat side and would be nearly impossible to get around as is. The plans show it in this position, there is a write up on it where it says sometimes the boat was towed or even tied to the shrouds. I'm thinking in real life the hatch would be closed allowing access across that or maybe the boat may have been stowed on top of the hatch during a long voyage. Thanks again for stopping in. marktiedens, EJ_L, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventynet Posted July 26, 2017 Share #525 Posted July 26, 2017 Hey Don, can you tell me in post #440 how you formed the bent end of the spar that sits atop of the mast?

donrobinson Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share #526 Posted July 26, 2017 Popeye: I like that comment, gave me a good laugh. Thanks for stopping in Mike: Thanks Mike, sorry to disappoint about the tarps. I seen tarps here on MSW somewhere and I think they used tissue paper, if I remember I'll let you know. Ian: There is really no way of turning the mast tops in one piece, I carved those from 8 mm dowels. The very top end of the mast tops were made separately then attached later.' The sheave in the mast top, from what I can see, does not get used in the rigging so I suppose it could be skipped if you wish. I will have to check, but I'm sure I showed this in my log earlier on and if not I will look to see what I have here. Thanks for stopping by.

Trabakul now has a new home on the dining room table as rigging has started and there is less chance of her getting hurt and even a less of a chance of me using the table to entertain. Bowsprit was first, this the little fitting made to hold it in place The little supports on either side and a strap with rings( I used eyebolts) Chain installed Lower shrouds completed Next up is the upper shrouds and then ratlines.
