riverboat Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share #124 Posted March 23, 2013 OK...... just a little picture update..... all the yards fitted with salis and attached to the masts, this almost completes the standing rigging, I need to run the yard braces and tye off the backstays, then I can start to work on painting up the crew!!

Landlubber Mike Posted March 24, 2013 Share #137 Posted March 24, 2013 Hey Frank, Badger has been on hold the past month or so while I have been getting things ready around here for the girls to arrive. My wife has been on bedrest the past couple of months, so I've had little time to work on the ship. She's due any day now, but I have a feeling that the end of 2013 will be when I finally finish her. Hope all is well my friend Quote Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

riverboat Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share #150 Posted March 30, 2013 a little update...... When I first attached the sail to the gaff it looked a little skimpy, so I went on line and found a picture of the Surprise with its gaff sail furled. They had it attached to the mast also. I made the correction and it looks alot better....thanks for look'n in.. Frank Dubz, popeye the sailor, coxswain and 6 others 9 Quote completed build: Delta River Co.
