Landlubber Mike Posted February 21, 2013 Share #63 Posted February 21, 2013 Hi Frank, looking great. The furled sail came out nice - I'm going to try and finish my ratlines tonight, and then tackle the furled sails on my Badger this weekend. Your pictures give me inspiration Hope you're doing well my friend. Quote Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

rdsaplala Posted March 3, 2013 Share #73 Posted March 3, 2013 Hi Frank, I forgot to mention in my last post, those furled sails look great my friend, you should make a tutorial on this topic, I think many builders want to achieve this particular look that you've made, top-notch job Quote Best regards,AldoCurrently Building: HMS Pegasus (Victory Models)-Mothballed to give priority to Triton HMS Triton (first attempt at scratchbuilding) Past build:HM Brig Badger (Caldercraft), HM Brig Cruizer, HM Schooner Ballahoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverboat Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share #74 Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks Aldo, I used Hubert's method to make the sails. It's a pretty simple process. and what i like is that there is no sewing involved. The only thing I added to the cloth was a hem on the top of the sail to accept the lacing. I'm doing everything pretty much by eye, as I have no info or pictures to go by as to the size of the sails.I'm working on the sprit sail now,a ssoon as I have it set I'll post some pictures.

patrickmil Posted March 4, 2013 Share #77 Posted March 4, 2013 Frank, we need to get a move on those sails. There have been idle threats with cannons loaded with cotton balls.

popeye the sailor Posted March 4, 2013 Share #79 Posted March 4, 2013 you could always install a locator pin in the center of the yard......drill a hole in the bow spirit.......then cement the yard in place and lash it to the bow spirit.......just a guess Frank......I haven't done one like this. your build looks terrific!

riverboat Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share #80 Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Thanks Popeye, the instructions say to do that with all the yards. I haven;t done that with the foremast yards because I want them to be able to be raised or lowered, but I might have to end up doing that with this one. Thanks again.

pirozzi Posted March 4, 2013 Share #81 Posted March 4, 2013 Hi Frank, Putting a small metal pin in the center of the yard and drilling a hole in the mast or bowsprit is the way to go. It makes it simple to hold it in place so you can lash it. Vince P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverboat Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share #82 Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks Vince, like I just told Popeye , I'll probably end up doing just that.... Frank Quote completed build: Delta River Co.

riverboat Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share #84 Posted March 4, 2013 I'd really like to have it so it's movable like the other yards, but if I can't do that, then its the pin...
